I love my morakniv
This is missing a few very well known brands like Zwilling J. A. Henckels, Wüsthof and WMF.
Makes me think we need a European cartoon template for this! I could see what I can find/make, as well!
I feel like Tintin and Asterisk and Obelisk would be full of suitable imaged
That would be cool indeed!
First thing that came to mind is this (for a horizontal layout), but not a perfect fit for several reasons. Nevertheless a classic.
Fabini makes great kitchenware, including knives. Got a steel pan and a knife from them. Both are best i ever had in these categories.
Maybe skip Varusteleeka; IIRC, they invited a whole bunch of Christo-fascist guntoobers from the US to their Winter Brutality, and didn’t understand why that was a problem.
I swear my life up and down with victorinox knife of the multitool in my pocket, best damn thing ive ever owned
No Laguiole ?
I’m very happy with my classic Wüsthof. That said, I’ll probably buy Victorinox next time I’m out to get a knife - I’m just too darn happy with my Swiss Army knife.
Finland is severely underrepresented here. So. Many. Great. Knife. Makers. Of course I know very little on the subject, I bought a J. Marttiini knife a long time ago and that’s been enough. But the industry is there! Long and storied history!
(And does Varusteleka make knives? I thought they’re just a retailer.)
Knives from Brusletto are hand made in Norway.
I have firsthand experience with Helle knives and I have only positive things to say. Very high quality knives, they have this… feel to them.
I’ve never specifically thougt about where I source my kitchen knives but I have:
- Sabatier Aîné & Perrier1 20 cm chef’s knife and a paring knife, carbon steel, olive handles.
- Wüsthof 20 cm chef’s knife
- Henckels boning knife
- Victorinox filleting knife, an insanely dangerous tomato knife, and half a dozen paring knives which get used for everything and are so cheap you’d be mad not to have a few.
So, I guess I’ve been buying European as long as I’ve been buying kitchen knives.
- Back in the early 19th century, two separate knife makers, both called Sabatier, started making knives in Thiers, France. There weren’t any real trademark laws back then and many other ‘Sabatier’ manufacturers appeared. By the 1970s there were as many as 30 different manufacturers all using the Sabatier name. Some of them were really cheap crap. Sabatier Aîné & Perrier are one of the two originals, and I really like their knives.
I hate Western-style knives though. Do any of these brands do Asian-style?
if youre looking for kitchen knives boker has some santoku style blades.
These are fantastic, thank you. To be honest, that there exist knives outside kitchen knives hadn’t really occurred to me, lol.
My frost mora is the best, cheapest, sharpest big boy knife i ever bought. Paid like $20 maybe 15 years ago and it’s been an absolute monster. Rarely needs sharpening, and the sharpening is a breeze thanks to the gorgeous saber grind that came with it. Honestly can’t talk up morakniv enough.
