I'm interested in a new chef's knife. What should I get? Keep in mind I have no idea what I have now and I only sharpen it every now and then with a rod and I'm mostly OK with it.

forged steel is important. You will need to actually sharpen it with more than the steel honing rod from time to time but it will then last forever (not actually forever but a long damn time). there are a lot of places that will sharpen it for you for cheap. sur la table does it. ace hardwares sometimes do it.

Target.
$14
Don't even know the brand
 It looks like the one in Asava's recent pic but with stainless steel handle.

you will be pleasently surprised by how much better a good knife is at knifing things. they aren't that expensive and you don't have to replace them constantly. just get a base model Wusthof or Henckels forged chef knife and you won't have to go knife shopping until you are super old.

the steak knives weren't forged. you can get shitloads of garbage from henckels or wusthoff that is cast and not any better than whatever you get off the rack at wal mart.

henckels, wusthoff and oneida? what is this some older active's apt across the street from my frat? what is this show and tell in mrs anderson woodrow wilson third grad class. what is this the cutlery aisle at the mhk goodwill? what is this a poor clueless person knife party and i accidently got an invitation. what is this a message board for people that like to cut food really poorly?

guess you guys don't care about good knives around here in this place.

sounds like we have a sintered knife fan in the house. 

regardless.  if any of you are buying 440A grade steel knives i will literally kick your ass.  at least 440C grade or go home.  preferably go with S30V stainless steel. or VG10 like the japanese are using. 

also remember to stick with steel with > .95% carbon & chromium, otherwise rust city usa and i will literally kick your ass.

also, if anyone is buying knives that are tempered to about 56 RC (Rockwell hardness scale), i will literally kick your ass.  i expect everyone here to be @ > 59 RC. 


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

The J.A. Henckels with 2 little men in the emblem (Zwilling) is twice the knife as the blade with 1 little man (International).  Zwilling is the top shelf and International is the bottom and medium range.  I believe AST had a Zwilling in one of his pics the other day.
