I'm frustrated with the bluntness of my knives. I only really use the cooks knife so I might get a good one at some point. I'd like one of those japanese knives.
A good knife need not cost very much. You just need a steel that responds well to sharpening, and truing by magnetism. A knife like this only needs a couple scrapes on one of those magnetic rods to be super sharp. The best knives I have are a chinese clever I got for £12 and a south asian sicle shaped 'daa' which was handmade of rough brown steel.
Most knives made/sold by british shops, are absolutley diabolical. They are too thick and hard to ever sharpen properly and are barely magnetic.
