best knives in the world?

[roran1234]

you can't compare a $89 Global G-2 to a $3000 Korin........

Would you please to explain what one can do with a $3000 Korin that can't be done equally well with an $89 Global G-2?

Full agreement. Beyond a certain point, you are paying for artistry and esthetics NOT practiaclity
An M-16 is "nicer" and more accurate than an AK BUT, the AK is more powerful and FAR more reliable [And, costs FAR less]

of course, an AK-47 is $6 on the world markets today...

its really funny to read these cuz you get alot of people who suggest shun or global or god forbid henkel's but your asking for the best knives in the world. in reality these knives dont even compare to hattori or tanaka or any of the other hand made japanese knives and yes they may be very hard to find let alone afford but there is nothing that comes close to them in quality.

I've been a chef for over 30 years had many different knives in my life and would tell you this for sure
i would never bring an expensive to a kitchen too much abuse just recently i bought a few SHUN knives from japan
and i love them i think for the 10in chef i paid $85 the knife holds a nice edge very happy with them so try the SHUN
and you won't go wrong

I know were you are coming from but most chef's don't bring there good knives to a kitchen at work
the knife gets abused to much i have a nice knives i use at home

Best cooking knives in the world are the Ginsu that are on info. commercials around this time of year. If you don't believe me just ask them!

So true. I love that famous dish they always feature when demonstrating the cutting abilities of the knives, Braised Beer Can.

I have found the MB cans to be the mos' tastyness...

CAUTION!
Do not overcook as this could cause molten metal to penetrate your tongue and lower jaw, land on your shoe and give you one helluva "hotfoot!" HO! HO!

I'm sorry but i disagree Kasumi and Global are good, don't get me wrong, but they don't even touch the surface; let alone scratch it, when it comes to high end knives

So what are some "high end knives"?
