question for Paul Elliott

shopping around for a good chef's knife. what do you use yourself and what would you recommend for a bodybuilder type person who's preparing 3 meals a day?

been recommended henckels 4* range, thoughts?

I haven't seen Paul post on here for a while mate, think he's quite busy at the mo.

I have used Henckels knives in the past, most excellent.  Bit pricey though, but IMO a good investment. 

I have alerted Paul about this message - he'll probably post when he's next on line - which is seldom of late

Sabatier gets my vote.

settled for a victorinox at the time
looking for an upgrade though

Hi,

Yes James C. and RedHotF right I have been tucked up busy at work lately !!
But I am still around.

I have always believed in buying the best knives you can afford and look after them, and they will look after you!!

I tend to have a mixture of makes/brands.

I lean towards Global as they are razer sharp, well balanced and very well made. Also I use Gustav Emil Ern from Germany and I have a great versitile allrounder from Victorinx.

Nisbets on line have a great range but you may need to have a look in your local harware/cook shop to get "the right feel".

Then possibly go on line to find a better price.

You may find a good "paring knife" and a "6 or 8 inch cooks knife" would be a good buy.

SORRY all for not being around, time precious at the moment but will endevour to get back on line at Muscle Talk !!!!

Good to see you back, Paul.  That comment was over a year ago, mate!

As a chef for over 17 years i would also say go for global knives,proper quality,sharp knives..
