[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 289254, member: 1211"] Good thread. I do 90% of my cooking out of a 6qt dutch oven. The other 10% out of a wok-like skillet. I recently came to the conclusion that I do not need a high-quality paring knife. I prefer a rather dull paring knife; tip 1/3 sharp and bottom 2/3 rather dull. For that, I don't need a good knife to do the job, though something ergonomic is surely desired. But as for the only other knife I ever reach to use, I want a high-quality 8" chef knife. I'm looking at the Henckels Four Star II 8" chef knife now. I have a Calphalon that someone gave me as a gift, but the blade is super thick and weighs far too much. Decent steel, but it was designed by an ape. So, for my MO, I need a junk quality paring knife, a very high quality 8" chef knife, a magnetic strip for hanging, and a steel. Minimalist and fully functional. In my frivolous moments, I entertain picking up an 8" Santoku, but I doubt I'll ever actually buy one. [/QUOTE]
