Kitchen Knives

Spyderco or not, what would you ladies and gents recommend as the best quality kitchen knives?

Looking for a chef's knife, a boning knife, a general serrated knife, and a paring knife.

This dealer sells Spyderco and about 2 dozen other top brands of kitchen knives. I have dealt with them and they are super to deal with. www.knifemerchant.com They pretty much specialize in kitchen & culinary knives in general. Top notch, good service and prices are OK.

But for the record>> most of my kitchen knive are Spyderco. Imagine that

For kitchen use I prefer Kai/Kershaw Shun classic or Wusthof Grand Prix.

For someone on a tight budget, what would be the best knife for the money? That site is nice JD, but expensive. But I guess that's what quality costs?

Cho, I was thinking about Kershaw actually.

Anyone know of any good sets, perhaps?

If on a budget, I'd think a Spydie Santoku and a K05 utility should handle all tasks quite well.

I have 2 santukos now and like them alot. The handles are very comfortable and the blade is flat ground so it cuts like crazy.
