21dangermouse 86 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Wustof all the way you only have to buy them once and you get what you pay for. I work with knives everyday, global are very poor imo. The rest of lads use wustof or victorinox. Check out nisbets website for deals and prices.

Brewman 1,192 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Last bit of knowledge required lads, I have acquired my cleaver now deciding on the steak knife either I go for a large Swibo 36cm pointed blade or a Victorinox 36 cm curved scimater style. I don't know if there are any advantages with either style. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
