Up until about 6 years ago we had a hotch potch of various knives.
Then PMLL was given a Global knife and we loved it. Although they are expensive, one by one over time we replaced the old ones (one year we each got one as a Christmas pressie from each other!) and we now have 8.
They are fabulous, great to handle and it's a joy to use a decent knife - not to mention safer.
Do any of you have a favourite brand of knives?

xxx I have a couple of Japanese Satake Houcho knives - beautifully balanced and not too expensive. I also have a Tojiro Senkou knife which I was given as a gift. Just the one unfortunately as when I looked to see if I could get some more, the price nearly floored me. So just the one it will have to stay.
You're right a decent knife, really sharp, is by far the safest to use. You're far more likely to cut yourself with a knife that's not sharp enough, as it's much more likely to slip.

When I left the first PMJ, I took photos, Christmas deccies and all my kitchen knives. Dunno what they are, but they are good.

My sister has just brought a full set of global knives and they are wonderful.
However they do say "The most Dangerous things in the kitchen are a sharp knife and a dull husband"

I still use a set of Richardson's Sabatier knives - the original wooden handled ones. I must admit I rarely use any but the large chef's knife anyway which I keep really sharp! It's getting close to having a run over with the fine diamond file at the moment, but generally I use one of those ceramic sharpeners with the "stones" set at the correct angle.
Always have problems with my father who insists on cutting absolutely everythign with a tiny old paring knife!

I use a Sabatier 10" blade all the time. It is a lot easier to use than a tiny bladed knife

I have a set of Richardson's and use the large cook's knife for most things. It's particularly good for expelling unwanted company from the kitchen if wielded in a certain way!

I had a complete set of Globals whch sadly got dessimated in a 'split-up'. (I came away with the bread knife, a corer and a mini 'saw' A local ironmongers recently closed down and out of curiosity I went in. I purchased (at a massive mark-down price) six Masterclass knives. They, imho, are superior to the Global. The balance of all is perfect and the handles feel like they were made for your hand only.
