What is a better knife out of these two:
The first one. It's bigger, it's made in Sheffield of really good quality steel.

I'd buy these

What is a better knife out of these two:
Both are for completely different purposes. One's a general purpose knife and the other is a boning knife that is impractical for general use. Checked out the kitchen knife thread?

talk of investment bonds and such made me wonder what happened to Bandstocks?
there was a lot of buzz for a while, and then they seemed to disappear. did they just sink? google is very quiet on news of their demise (if they have sunk), did a bigger company buy them out and silence the internet?

Well I need a general purpose kitchen knife. I already have a good quality cleaver for hefty stuff. But all my medium-to-small sized knives are terrible. All are near impossible to get sharp, and what little sharpness you get on them dissappears immediately.
Some of the daily duties of the knife will be thinly slicing onions and chopping up meat. So the boning knife doesnt sound far off. I was attracted to it, because it is a professional commercial standard butchers knife so I know it will definitely get sharp. The shape and size seems fine too.
A better/simpler question might be. What is a better knife steel?
A: DOLOMITEN INOX
B: 420 Molybdenum Steel

My grandma used a boning knofe for everything (apart from bread and carving cooked meat)and it was razor sharp.
I prefer a one-piece inox cooks knife.
I know inox will keep an edge but i havent ever used molybenum steel knives.
The idea of a tomato knife made me laugh and is surely only for people who don't know how to sharpen their other knives? -
you can sharpen a knife on a car window. FAXT!
That could be good camping info.
I have always found it easier to take the steel out of the drawer and use that. -
You mean a strop - sole leather impregnated with jeweller's rouge. Used by barbers for straght-edge razors to keep the edges keen between shaves.
In all of my cooking I've never had a need for a boning knife. A chef's knife will get you through 99% of the stuff you need. Keep your butcher in business and let him bone* everything for you.
*not a euph.

Agreed
Grandma's boning knife was an evil looking object, oversharpened and oddly shaped.
Something which she never allowed me to go near as a child and especially not to wash it. It was very comfortable to her and she used it skillfully but I came to realise that if she had used an equally sharp cooks/chefs knife, she would probably have been 20% quicker. -

These people just used regular leather. No rouge either, still worked. I guess its not as precise as a razor blade.
Im not planning on doing any actual boning, I like to leave nearly everything on the bone. Just seems like a decent sized knife to compliment the chinese clever (very good) that I use for everything else.

what for? The second one wouldn't be much good for every day cutting, for one the blade doesn't come below the handle.
Someone posted this link before for cheap knives. I took the plunge and paid all of £8 for a set of 3 and they seem really quite good.

These reviews are also uninspiring:

Does anyone know where I can get a bag of Hill's Prescription Diet m/d cat food tomorrow?
I have stupidly run out and the vets round here are not open tomorrow.
