I like my vintage Sabatier knives.For me, cutlery just has to be pleasant to use and able to go in the dishwasherNot the ones I want to make obviously, as that is more for fun than anything else.
When it comes to kitchen knives, I do like Zwilling knives, they seem to be of good quality and not too expensive. And they have professional knives as well which are slightly more expensive if you are looking for higher quality. But I think they have a nice design and are good for everyday use. But obviously, you should never put them in a dishwasher as it can destroy the handle.
Zwilling knives
(@ChristineM will give me grief for liking French slicers.)
They're plain carbon steel, which sharpens better than stainless steel.
And the vintage ones are lighter & thinner than modern fare.
They require some care...no dishwashers, or leaving them lying around wet.
I got my big one once at a garage sale for around a buck.
This one is $90 on ebay...
