Hello!
First time forum user and thought I'd join since I like perusing posts.
Summary - Looking for any/all advice on new, high-quality knives for my set. I'm able to cook for myself after a long battle with a neuro disease.
I would like to buy a few pieces from different manufacturers since I love variety in the kitchen.
What am I cooking/prepping - Mostly doing lots of classic French recipes for dinner and lunch. Getting into traditional southern Indian cuisine, and Sicilian fish dishes. I love prepping lots of veggies on the fly. I even do a bit of pastry stuff and having a fun blade or two for that is always a plus.
What I currently have - I have a couple of pieces right now already - they're all Zwilling Twin Star II or Pro.
Sharpening - I have an outstanding chef in my area who is also a bladesmith, so sharpening isn't an issue for something *weird*.
Other Caveats - have large hands with thin fingers. Love a good grip and hate banging my knuckles.
Price point - Price isn't an object for the right knives, so feel free to get crazy and recommend things that are both a great value for the money *and* the "If I were you and had $300 to burn"-recommendations.
What I would like advice on (in order of importance)
1. A 4" pairing knife. (Thinking a Shun Premiere since they're cheap right now). Open to other ideas.
2. A veggie knife. I LOVE flat edged blades. Make me some suggestions! Going *chop chop* is too much fun sometimes.
3. A really nice utility knife.
4. A fillet knife.
5. A chef's knife. Currently using a 7" Zwilling Pro. Great for the house. Am not running back of house anymore, so don't need a 10" blade.
6. Any bread knife.
7. A new carver. Currently using a 9" Zwilling Twin Star II.
Thanks folks!
