    Mac Chefs knife or Fujiwara FKM Gyuto?

    Hi everyone. Just wondered how the 2 knives would compare for everyday use in a pro kitchen. I can't really do the questionnaire because I'm on my phone but I use a mixture of cutting moves and do sharpen on stones (although I'm not very good) Need a new chefs knife/gyuto and these 2 have...

    CarboNext or Suisin Inox petty?

    What would people go for out of the 2 above? Looking at adding a petty and have narrowed it down to these 2. I think the Suisin (Western) is better looking but I imagine the CarboNext will hold an edge better. It will be used in a pro kitchen and is my first real Jknife. Also is the 'extra...

    Looking for a whetstone

    Hi all. Looking to invest in my first stone, after using only a steel to maintain my knives for the past 2 years. Looking to spend no more than £50 (I'm UK based). Ideally would like a combination cos I'm a cheapskate and would rather buy one than two ;) Thanks.

    MAC Knife Pricing?

    Can anybody explain why a MAC Original Series 6 1/2 inch utility knife is $60 (£39) in the US, yet supplied officially in the UK it's £96?! I really want one but I ain't being ripped off.

    Knife Storage

    Hey all. Just wondering how you all store your knives? My knife bag (one of these; https://www.nisbets.co.uk/Knife-Case/A717/ProductDetail.raction ), is getting a bit tatty now and is ready for replacing. I like the look of these 2...
