Great Thread! You see, come Christmas time - the wife kicks my ass all around the house begging for gift ideas for me...I never really come up with any.
However, this thread just reminded me that I REALLY need a good knife or two for cutting/carving meat, and also trimming spares into SLC ribs, chopping veggies, etc. However, I don't know squat about knives - what brands are good, what type of knife does what, etc.
Soooo - considering that the TYPE of knife is probably more important than the brand name - what type of knife do I ask for?
Chef's knife? What's another one?
Like I said, I'm not too technically minded when it comes to these things....I too find that a good filet knife is great for - just one example - cutting the bone out of a pork shoulder. Therefore, I'm not interested in having a knife for every single situation imaginable - just a couple good ones.
So what two types are the best for all purpose cutting and also chopping of vegetables?
Thanks!
