Do you bring your old knives home and use them in the kitchen and at the diner table?
I do. I cut most items in the kitchen with an old 6" boning knife. Bigger jobs with an old 8" knife. I have an old 10" that I use maybe once a year. All old semi retired meat dept knives. When meat is served, I put old boning knives at the table.
I do have three proper steak knives for the table (a roommate lost the 4th). They are from Certified Angus Beef. I bought them at their website maybe 10 years ago. They don't get used much. My ugly Forschners are good enough for me. For some guests, I may have to break out the proper knives.
I have some boning knifes that my wife use that go back to my days in Atlanta, Ga. with A&P. they are like needles now lol. be great to bone out some beef necks.
she will use them over newer ones I have because there is more steel in them and will hold a edge longer.
Ha I still have my school issued knife in my drawer. Thats the only knives I use to cut stuff up also. I even have a steele in my drawer. I had my metal cutting glove too but now our company is making us wear cutting gloves and they gave us cloth ones that I hate so i have my old metal glove at work now.
yeah i left my old knives in va with the wife but i got some old ones at work i ve been meaning to bring home. its hard cutting a steak into stir fry with a cheap pressed knife.
I hate those white cloth gloves they get so filthy and soaked with juice and when they are wet your hands get twice as cold.. i used to put a big poly glove over them to keep them dry.
Yea, I have about 4 of them at home. I call them my pig stickers. Well, because their so worn down. Still a little sharp. Good enough to shave the hair off of a goats knee at 50 paces.
I have a 6" boning knife, a 10" and 12" for fun times with meat in the kitchen :) Of course I have the honing steel, actually two of them. One a friend gave me but it's only about 7" long, and then I bought a new one that's 10". Always had the meat knives in my kitchen... too much of a pain to use these new knives that you can spend $100-300 per knife. They're sharp, but only about 10% sharper than a butchers knife. And I only spend about 10-20 bucks a piece on those. :)
I've got a hand full of boning knives that are pretty much needles but I did score a really nice Sharptech boning knife with a healthy blade on it when the store I was working at closed down. I use it pretty often and I take the older knives deer hunting.
I have 3 boning knifes and one steak knife, I use to have more but some how they walked off. the ones I have now i keep locked up in a box my ex hubby made for me.
