touched by the hand of slain

Didn't have a Carbone so I got an INOX, €9.5... Think I'll keep them both...

How many am I getting? Decathlon looks like a good deal tbh... I'm in La Coruña trying to get a passport tomorrow, can purchase as many as needed...

As many as needed to ‘get’ a passport?
2 should be enough for that!

A No.7 is €7.99 at Decathlon here, not as cool as a No.6, IMVHO, obvs...

Check out the parallele kitchen knives, good value and feel nice.

The bubinga range are nice too, not too pricey.

I've got a bubinga No.6, it's fucking ace... So that's three... #666

I was tempted to get an ebony no.7, but too expensive.
Going to get a bubinga one, for wet work.

Would croc dundee call this a knife?

No worries buddy. I'll pick one up at decathlon and then let you touch it next week.

@NurseHolliday shall I grab you one if I go?

That'll be €9...

Got bubinga 15 to fillet some fish we bought at the market in Versailles. From a cafe tabac, got the knife, a coffee, tea and two pastries for less than 15 euro.

Love Bar Tabacs!
15cm Opinels being a normal thing to buy alongside a packet of Gauloise Blondes...

Bar Tabacs have saved me on many a ride, shelter from the rain, pastry, coffee and a strong grenadine to keep the spirits up.

It's OK I work near Surrey Quays Decathlon so I might pop in myself. I love to have a browse in there anyway.

Not sure how work will feel about me "tooling up" on my lunch break...

Still disappoint that it won't have been touched by the hand of Slain.

Also disappointed that he's not going to attempt getting on a flight with 7 knives in his luggage.

I'm still going to Decathlon, may have another little splurge if the mood takes me...

I managed to contain myself and bought an INOX No.8, that will be our new cheese board knife back home... I feel a bit bad cuz my mate back home, Matt, is the flagship Opinel retailer in Australia... I should be putting the business his way... Oh well, I've bought loads of knives off him as Christmas and birthday gifts already...

I need a new set of kitchen knives (well, a paring and chef's knife at least, maybe something for meat joints)
Any brands I should keep my eye out for in TJ Maxx?
Budget is at the narrower end, but I would rather get something good than cheap.

There was always a good range of Sabatier Professional knives in my local TK Maxx, stock would come and go so I'd pop in regularly and pick up things I was missing... I might grab a cleaver if I can this time, an old housemate made off with the one my dad gave me... 😬

I got a mixed set of Sabatier Pro knives (two different sizes of santoku style, one carving and one pairing) from TK Maxx as 'slain says. Very reasonably priced. Still just boggo standard stainless but a going over with my knock off Lanksy kit every so often means they are better than anything I had before.

+1 for a properly sharpened Sabatier, or Victorinox.

I'd focus on something that you feel comfortable with.
