@Eiron , I think what I meant when I wrote that was aI now think more about why I grab the knives that I do, and about how I use them.
I almost always think of the Wusthof Trident first for chopping, and I think it’s because I am most comfortable with the shape of that blade, the weight of the knife, and how the handle feels. I might have few other knives if my husband didn’t buy them for me. Or his friend didn’t bring me the one from Japan when he traveled, which I greatly appreciate!
Going without my parer led me to explore alternatives, and I find I appreciate the heft of knives, even when eating steak!
@kaleokahu I bent the chef knife tip sharpening it.
With regard to the snapped tip on the paring knife, I can say with certainty, “It wasn’t me” .
But really; it wasn’t!
