Strange,
I thought that knife sharpening is done in one direction only, from the base to the the tip ...
I admit I didn't watch the 3 hour's video though.

There is pressure to get a knife set in a nice wood block. Should we blow $1,000 on a Wusthof set? $1000 is more money than I would care to spend on mass produced knives.
With respect to pans, we need a set that will work on gas or induction.
Any thoughts on cooking with stainless steel?
Yep, these are exactly the knives we use in our kitchen (as mentioned in posting #55).The Victorinox "Fibrox" gets my recommendation as a good value.

Really recommend the Mora Kansbol for an incredible knife for the price ($34~40 in the US).I use some of the Victorinox Fibrox and some Kyocera ceramic knives in the kitchen.
EDC pocket carry is the venerable Victorinox Swiss Army Pioneer model.
Kayaking or other outdoor utility knives are various Morikniv's and Silky Gomboy folding saws. A folding saw is really something if you've never used a good one. Much better than a small axe or hatchet.

And the basic generic Morikniv. These are pretty decent and inexpensive enough you can have several.

Nice - good price too ;-)
Do you see any difference between the $ 200 and $ 100 knives?
Ok… story!Gee, just looking at these makes that spot on my back hurt where my final employer stabbed me.
My daily carry pocket knife is on my keychain and it's a great little tool to have at all times. It's a lock back and is all stainless steel.
