to be fair, that thread is a smoking crater of lulz and sperglords at this point.

How DARE you reject my wisdom, I have spent thousands of hours reading bladeforums.net to reach this level of expertise. Must I spend the next hour posting pictures of my pocket knife collection, or will you finally accept my help?

>reading blade forums
>not knowing from personal experiences

>>7177073

That's an awful thread that should be avoided.

>>7177119
Perhaps the same could be said of all threads

Consider a light Chinese cleaver and a paring knife and a bread knife, that will get you most of the way there

Chicago or Farberware/Forschner are fine for a first knife, they're froged and ground properly and inexpensive, start there and you can buy a full set, $20 at a time, and find the knives you like. if you want a Japanese knife
>weeb hahaha
buy a Tojiro DP

don't sweat it and don't buy the knife block sets of big brand names, they're all shitty knives at heart designed for soccer moms. Or if you must, go online and buy the pro lines from restuarant supply sites. Stay out of Bed bath and beyond is what I'm saying.

Chinese cleavers are fantastic

>post itt when you can do this with any knife you want to use

Why would anyone spend an extra decade slaving in a smelling Chinese kitchen just to be able to do the same shit any normal person would otherwise be able to do with a normal chef's knife?

Chinese bench scraper fags are worse than any weebs that have ever posted in these parts.

>snook
You a Florida bro? Snook is easily my favorite fish. My neighbor has a dock light that they congregate around for whatever reason.

>>7177230
yeah bro
uhhhh they congregate because bait fish, shrimp, and other things are attracted to it because of the flies and other stuff.

SWFL to be more specific.

That incident happened two weeks ago, I called the company and they sent me a new blade and let me keep the old one. They both suck.

Not OP, but I'm thinking of getting a Henckels International Classic 8 inch chef's knife, because poorfag. Anything comparable/better at a lower price point?

I was thinking of jumping into a Wusthof because of their heaviness and quality, but I'd rather get one that has a unibody design, like a Global santoku or chef. Only I want a forged 7" chef and one I can keep for at least until I move again, ten years from now. I have bad experiences of handles breaking, that's why I lean to unibody, but I'm willing to shift if that's fucking retarded

im using pic related

smaller hands so i like the shorter length. used some henckels and wusthofs but found them too soft or expensive. yeah i could sharpen and hone more often but im lazy. chose this shape so i can better break down meats but do prefer santokus for veg.
