The knives of our wives

[mack]

Hi all,

there are 2 groups of wives, I guess.

The ones that use our knives or have their own and the ones who use 1 paring knife for everything. So I thought it would be funny, to show the knives of our wives.
My wife has her own knives, and she knows how to take care of them. I only have to sharpen them from time to time.

Here is a pic:

- Simon Herde Gyuto, 200mm
- Benjamin Kamon Santoku, 195mm
- Robin Dalman small Gyuto/large Petty 175mm
- Xerxes Primus Petty

What about your wives? Which knives are they using? Would be nice to see some pics too.

Best,
Mack.

p.s. no offense of course to all the women active here, you can show the knives of your men if you want

I’ll take the Dalman. When do you want me to pick it up?











Oh, your wife has a great taste - not only because she chose you as her husband but also her choice of knives is exquisit!

Question, is this why you started wearing chainmail?

Yes, tis but a scratch these days. Shes on the fence about taking internship/hire in the shop though, so might need to go for full plate armour soon.

No matter what I put on the rack, the finacée and the daughter use and love these two

My girlfriend has been using this Murata funayuki for a few years now. After she cut herself pretty bad using a dull ceramic knife on a tomato she threw it away and started using this one. At first she had NO idea how to care for it, I would end up cleaning it up and re polishing it every couple of weeks so it wouldn't turn into a hunk of rust.

She now keeps pretty darn good care of it and even mentions to me when it's starting to get dull. Super cool

My wife insists on using a set of Wusthof that was a wedding present, for purely sentimental reasons. No amount of practical consideration could convince her otherwise. Not the worst in the world, but I hate sharpening around that bolster.

Your wife sounds amazing!

She can do everything with these

 

[gcsquared]

- Simon Herde Gyuto, 200mm
- Benjamin Kamon Santoku, 195mm
- Robin Dalman small Gyuto/large Petty 175mm
- Xerxes Primus Petty

She is a lucky woman! I would be happy to use your wife’s knives any day

 

[M1k3]

She uses a Vnox serrated steak/paring knife or Wusthof Grand Prix II 6" Chef.

My wife likes small knives;

A 90mm Petty
a 90mm Petty by Mazaki
a 150mm Petty by Konosuke

yes, one day I'll get around to actually marrying her.

Wife's knives are 8 inch Wustof classic chef knife; 3 inch Wustof classic parer; 5 inch Mac Pro utility knife. My knives are off limits to her, she enjoys putting knives point down into metal cutlery drainer, and specializes in keeping knives in the sink submerged in soapy water.

Awesome! Love that tanto blade.

Sorry, I should have said that your future wife is amazing!

My wife uses a Gesshin Uraku 210 stainless, a Tanaka Ginsan 150 petty, a Shun paring knife, and a mystery paring knife. I also use them (besides the mystery paring) from time to time.

 

[DitmasPork]

Wife is learning not to put knives point down in dish drainer.

 

[bahamaroot]

That's pretty much it other than the occasional serrated steak knife....

Chip ohoy :s

How does this sort of thing even happen...?

 

[Ruso]

210 Takamura Red handle
190 Tanaka Blue 2
240ish Markin in m390
Tramontina churrascrro serrated

 

[Dendrobatez]

My wife is a chef as well so she has some nice ones: globals for breaking down lobsters, shibata as, tanaka 240mm , a mazaki 240mm, Greg cimms 270mm nitro-v suji, dalman pairing, sometimes she decides one of my knives would look good in her bag too...

 

[valgard]

My wife doesn't grace the kitchen much with her presence but when she cuts stuff it is with these two. Ikea Paton knife and a damasteel custom paring @Matus made for her a few years ago now.

 

[Tim Rowland]

She uses a knife she refinished herself. I was only allowed to give some direction but not touch it, lol
It was an older Richmond artifect in AEB-L.
She thinned it with sand paper/granite plate and did a 600 grit satin finish then put on a rosewood handle.
Took her about 12 hours total over a few weeks because she was scared to use any of my power tools...besides a drill.

My girlfriend mostly uses a Victorinox 8" chef's. She's tried my gyutos but prefers the Vnox for rock chopping. I've offered to get her an upgrade with a similar profile (thinking ZKramer) but nope, she likes the Vnox, and if she's gonna leave a knife out overnight covered in pizza gunk I guess she could choose something much worse. She does ask me to sharpen it up periodically these days so that's something!

Funny story: the other day I caught her using a bread knife to saw up a tomato for sandwiches. I gently suggested that my Tanaka petty might be a better tool for the job and had her try it... I think this was her first "holy sh*t that's sharp" giggle. She still doesn't get the collecting urge, but maybe I'll sell her on getting a proper knife of her own someday.

I let my girlfriend have her pick of my knives. So she told me since I like my fancy knives, she’ll take the ugliest one.

She chose the Ku Kato

I had to quietly replace it with an almost similar looking Kamo Kurouchi

You didn't give her your ugly Ku Kato? ;-)
