I still prefer a chinese cleaver for most tasks.

I've posted this previously; I get a kick out of this knife. It is still my
favorite knife. I use it everyday I cook. I should replace it before the
handle falls off in my hand!

I just can't get enough of telling people what a wonderful knife this is. I
still remember the woman who sold it to me. She said, it is extremely sharp
and don't catch your fingers on the back of it. I've cut myself once in all
these years, and then only slightly. It is a dull knife that will cut - but
we all know that!

Now that I finally own one, I have to agree.
My second favorite knife is a small Eagle Claw fillet knife.

Sheesh, what a corroded piece of [censored]... why is the blade all rusty and
pitted.
Aren't you embarrassed showing the world what a negligent slob you are.
Don't you realize knives with cracked handles spread disease... if
that's your best knife one can only imagine the ghetto you call a
kitchen. I'd hope you take better care of the crack in your crotch,
but if your post is an example I doubt it.

And some of yoose got the nerve to ask why I don't attend cook-ins...
I've seen the pictures.

I recently bought some henckel too!...but mine was a kinda braising pot.
I'm very impressed with everything about it except the price. It's got a
non-stick coating inside and out but not on the lid and it distributes
heat very well. The only drawback I can see is it isn't dishwasher safe.

I guess there is no way of 'totally' killfiling a poster. If anyone knows
how, let me know.
I think it is probably good advice about the handle being probably too dirty
to keep around preparing food, although I am diligent about cleaning the
knife after each use, the handle cannot be cleaned with soap and water,
although meat has never touched this knife, I think there are some pretty
nasty germs on vegetables.

I still prefer a chinese cleaver for most tasks.

I have a couple of Chinese cleavers but have never gotten used to them. I
have a third cleaver: a heavy butcher's cleaver that is great for things
like dismantling chickens, ribs and such. But for most things I liked my
medium-sized serrated knife and a chef's knife. I haven't used either one
since I got my santuko. Really super knife!

By it's nature, is the santuko a lighter-weight knife? The non-big-name
brands ones that I have held have seemed to light and thin for the body
size. They're been balanced, but didn't feel right in my hand--they felt
like they would be dangerous because the blade was thin and the whole knife
lighter weight. For instance, I really love my 8-inch Chef's knife as there
is weight that I can feel pressing against the heel of my hand, but the
blade is heavy enough, thick enough, that it feels right. It doesn't feel
like it would snap or skid sideways and the santuko knives that I hefted
did.

Welcome back!

I just got a santuko (did we both shop at Williams Sonoma?) less than
a month ago too.... I've tried to use it for everything that I'd use a
chef's knife for normally. Although I like it, I won't stop using my
chefs knives. I haven't cut any meat into thin slices yet (something
I did 2 days before buying it, so that's what sold me). The blade is
definitely thinner than my chef's knives and of course it has that new
knife sharpness. Overall, I think the heft is a little light.

What tasks make it your new favorite knife?

On a mailing list, folks are discussing the superstition or custom of
never giving just a knife as a gift. One should always give it along
with something else, not knife-related, so that the friendship or
relationship will not be severed.

Has anyone ever heard of this custom before? Does anyone know from
whence it came?

I've heard to never gift any one with a knife. We sell them to the person
for a penny for just the reason you stated.. the relationship will be
severed. Can't find a source in the few minutes I spent at Google, just
several repetitions of the above.
