I don’t profess to be an expert cook, nor do I have elite knife skills. Nevertheless, I thought it worthwhile capturing what I have as my interest in good, sharp knives is steadily increasing.
I have found the most useful site for information about blades is Knife Forums which has a bewildering amount of discussion on topics covering every imaginable aspect of owning, using and maintaining knives.
