Hi all. Been a little busy here lately. I have mostly Wusthof Trident. But my knife collection consists of Wusthofs, Messermeisters, Kyoceras, F. Dicks, Dexters, etc.
The problem with purchasing gifts that will last forever is you better be sure the recipient wants them. Henckels vs. Wusthof? it's a tossup. The key here is to buy them what they really want, not what you think is best for them. I can't tell you how many useless pieces of kitchen equipment I have because someone at some department store told them that's what chefs use.
