Knives...which brand?

[allycat06]

Lime, my folks have Mundials and I'm not really a fan. They're a bit clunky for my liking. Will check out the Wusthofs...have you ever used ja henckles? Atm I just have some cheapy ones from Freedom (wedding present), they are a very similar style/shape to the Globals and fit my hand nicely but like you pointed out my only concern about the Globals is being too light. The Shun ones are supposed to be just like Globals only heavier. Oh decisions, decisions!

The Shun are AMAZING knives, well worth the spend. I had a Santoku that was stolen, but it was beautiful.

I use Mundial & haven't got a complaint about them. I have the set in the block and have had them for about 11 years now.

I have mundial at home because i like the weight of them. Like you i found the global knives too light for knives lol

I guess it comes down to personal preference.

We use Furi knives. Great light weight, all one solid piece easy to handle. A little pricey but So worth it.

Allycat, I actually got my knife block & set through Tupperware. I had a really good party & I had enough in sales/bookings to qualify for it for free. At the time DH snorted & told me they would be crapola, but he soon ate his words. They were honestly the most brilliant knives I have had. Mind you, I had never had expensive knives like that before to properly compare them to. Comparing Kmart knives to expensive ones on the market isn't exactly a proper comparison - KWIM?

Good luck in your quest!!!

We have Furi knives too. But we got the ones with the grip on them instead of the full stainless steel (or whatever it is made of) We also got the Furi sharpener, it has 3 different stages (i think) and DH loves it. The knife block that came with it, pulls apart so you can get in and wash the inside out of any dust etc (we live in a very dusty area) but it's one of those one day jobs lol..
