Jaccard Simply Better Meat Tenderizer Knife 45 Blade Stainless Steel Md: 200345NS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)By having all those blades pierce the meat, it breaks down the connective tissues, thereby - tenderizing the meat. It also allows for marinates to really soak into the meat easier, cutting down on marinate time and having fully marinated meats. The method works, the design is good. It's a good, solid product. My only complaint is that it's hard to clean. The blades are extremely sharp, so you want to be very careful. There are 3 rows of sharp blades and the blades are non-removable. Each blade is gets coated with meat juice and bits of meat, yet you can't scrub each blade. Running it under hot water and scrubbing the outside with soapy hot water is about the best I could do for a good clean. I think the inner blades were cleaned enough with this method, but it's a bit of a pain to ensure cleanliness. This is the complaint I have of all meat tenderizers of this design, but this is the only one that lets you do something about it.Even though the instructions say that you don't need to disassemble it to clean it - rinsing with soapy water will do - I'm a little more anal than that and I like that I can disassemble it to really ensure cleanliness.The con to that then is that it's a pain to disassemble it each time to clean it.I guess every pro has it's con?It's also nice that you can just buy replacement blades for it - although I don't see the blades actually dulling anytime soon.

F. Dick 11" Multicut Knife Sharpening Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is great steel, makes a huge difference in keeping my knives razor sharp.
For everyday use I just take 2-4 strokes as light as I possibly can touch the steel almost just the weight of the knife itself and edge stays razor sharp.

when knife starts to dull just a wee bit I increase pressure across the several grooves which usually brings edge right back then a couple very light strokes and viola.

I sharpen my knives to a 15/20 double bevel edge then strop them to a high polish.
Using this steel I only need to re-sharpen with a stone maybe 2-3 times a year at most.

Shun Classic 7-Piece Block Set with Bamboo Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This set is wonderful in that it includes everything you really need in a cutlery set. Most of the commercial stamped sets include upwards of twenty knives, but you'll end up using five or six on a regular basis. The quality of these forged blades is stunning and the edges are razor sharp. With proper honing, using the steel included in the set, these blades will keep their edge for over a year of daily use. I would recommend finding a local bladesmith and having the edge sharpened professionally. It isn't expensive and will maximize performance.

The handle itself is comfortable and the balance feels natural. Although the manufacturer says that these are dishwasher safe, I would suggest immediate hand washing after use and complete drying before returning it to the block.

Product Description:
Shun Classic knives are made in Seki City Japan, where craftsmen have made samurai swords for centuries. This 7-piece set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, a 9-inch bread knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife and a 6-inch utility knife, plus a sharpening steel and a sturdy set of kitchen shears.

The shape of the blades is designed to reduce sticking, resulting faster, safer cutting performance. A once-piece tang runs from a traditional offset bolster to a steel end-cap, and the dishwasher-safe PakkaWood handle has a D-shaped profile that fits the hand beautifully. Every knife in the Shun Classic line is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Mundial Olivier Anquier 6-Inch Boning Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a picky consumer when it comes to culinary accessories, especially knives. I look for a combination of quality (materials and workmanship), comfort/ ergonomic design, aesthetic appeal (perhaps as an afterthought, but I happen to believe that the tools we use should be thoughtfully designed) and value. This knife surprised me on all four fronts.
*The quality far surpassed my expectations. The blade is beautifully forged and has a ring to it that is similar to some of the far more expensive knives I own. It is impressively sharp and the blade is substantive. It looks like it will last for years of heavy use and sharpening. The handle, made of wood and steel, is similarly beautifully crafted. I can see that whomever made this knife took pride in its quality.
*Functionally, this is a very comfortable knife to hold. It is well-balanced and fits nicely into my hand. The handle is not likely to numb one's fingers with heavy use because it seems to be designed with ergonomics in mind.
*Aesthetically, this knife seems to be a hybrid of old school craftsmanship (think of swords or carving knives from days of yore) and modern sensibilities (there has been quite a lot of thought put into how it will be used). I like it far more than I thought I would, even though it is unlike any other knife I own.
*The value is excellent for the price. I got this knife as a 4 for 3 freebie, but I would have been glad to pay what I would have for the knife at its discounted price. I may need to see what other knives this company makes.

Seki Magoroku Series 8-Inch Bread Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bread knife is quite sharp.It easily cuts through all kinds of bread without squishing them or creating too many crumbs from "sawing".

The wooden handle, though D-shaped and comfortable is not the same D-shape as Shun's handle, and it requires periodic maintenance, i.e. sealing with mineral oil.

Overall, a great knife.

Shun Shun Classic H.G. Pro Slicing Knife, 12-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this on friday. Designed for slicing roasts and other large cuts of meat, it has distinct limitations. It is very long, and has no tip, so don't try and use it for any sort of chopping, only slicing as recommended. When carving a flank steak against the bias, it did a wonderful job, allowing me to create thin and even slices, much thinner than with a (non shun) carving knife I have, or than what I can do with my shorter shun knives. The ability to cut in a single stroke reduces the tearing that occurs to meat, losing less juices. Don't try and carve turkey with it, as the rounded tips is awkward. And it does a mediocre job on bread, due to no serrations. However, on roast beef, ham, pork shoulder or large steaks, nothing can do a cleaner job. Looks great when cutting at the table too, and the hollows really do help stop the meat from sticking.
