Muddy Funker Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Any ideas which Sabatier model to look for? Looking on Amazon the reviews for a alot of them are useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplex Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I've had a Sabatier cooks knife for years and it's been great (not sure which one), easy to sharpen and holds an edge well. I did treat myself to a Global veg' knife years ago which was brilliant until I dropped it and it snapped at the handle, I tried to e mail Global but got zero response. Looking on Amazon i'd say mine is possibly the 'V' range? cheap and good value http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B002MXEFMW/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Edited November 5, 2011 by ziplex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Sarakun Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I use Sabatier knives and they are great, hold an edge well and are easy to resharpen. Look on Amazon you get a good set for that money. Sabatier for me too, top quality knife and they come in every configuration for every job, more or less.

Chris Bb Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Sabatier for me too, top quality knife and they come in every configuration for every job, more or less. From Wikipedia: Sabatier is the makers mark used by several kitchen knife manufacturers—by itself it is not a registered brand name. The name Sabatier is considered to imply a high-quality knife produced by one of a number of manufacturers in the Thiers region of France using a fully forged process; the knives of some of these manufacturers are highly regarded. However, the name "Sabatier" came into use before intellectual property laws and is not protected; knives legally bearing the name range from high-quality knives made in France to cheap mass-produced products of poor quality from France and other countries; a registered logo or full name, or both, such as "65 Sabatier Perrier", is necessary to establish origin and quality.

Muddy Funker Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Okay after reading you don't necessarily need a full set, I'm very tempted!!! http://www.theknifeshop.co.uk/product/657/fk2pcwh3/kyocera-black-handled-ceramic-santoku--paring-knife-set.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Whatever you do avoid Pro Cook. I got some as a very kind gesture for christmas one year and I wish I'd kept the reciept. The blades wouldn't take a decent edge, then they started chipping on the edge!!! Biggest pile of **** I've ever owned - they cost over £100 for the set and to be honest £20 would have been a rip off! Bought 2 in a sale in the summer. The Japanese style cook's knife is ok, but the filleting knife i bought snapped in my hand on the 3rd use!!!! Waiting for my next trip to Ashford outlets to take it back.

PhilR Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Well I didn't realise that buying a Sabatier knife was so complicated. I've just been to check what ours are and they're the Sabatier Lion, nice to know we've got 'proper' ones. Looked on the web and see the cost of replacement ones would be pretty damn expensive today.

fenboy Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Having used knives to earn a living for 8 or 9 years when I was younger there was no better than those made by **** but doubt they would fall into your price range as already mentioned victorinox are also a decent knife at a more realistic price another good one was dexter russel they are reasonble in price but difficult to get hold of in the uk now I believe.

timmytree Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 What a coincidence! On AAOC there's a knife thread going, apparently Opinel now do kitchen knives that might be worth a look. I've been using ordinary Opinels in the kitchen for a while, the carbon steel discolours but they're great to cut with and easy to sharpen.

working dog Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Global for me. Ive had my set for about 10 years. They are well constructed, have a good balance and keep a good sharp edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Three out of five of my next door neighbours Global knives went rusty on the handles within a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) for £70 you should be able to buy 7" boner yes nice one tell you what chard, for you mate special offer you can have mine for 1/2 price If you need a recomendation or an honest review of what knives to buy i'll put money on you going in to any butchers shops,slaughter houses and asking what they use and i can bet you the answer will 90% of the time be the same;- VITRINOX, you dont see them advertised at silly food shows or on adverts on Utube or the like saying they cut through cucumbers like butter or slicing through tomato like cutting water or whatever, they are used by people who need reliability and working tools not something nice to look at with a fancy lable.

Dr W Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Global, had mine for about 10 years hardly ever need sharpening, brilliant knives but not cheap, but you get what you pay for. J@mes, I would suggest if your neighbours knives started to rust then they were fakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr W Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 They were replaced under warranty. Fair enough, must have been a dodgy batch of steel. Never had any problems with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
