TP,

Although not really a collector I have a lot of other knives that are used in their own ways. If you are interested PM me and I will send you some snaps.

Wow Skip. I am in total awe, that is some serious cutting equipment and obviously well looked after and loved.

A superb collection, Skip! Love those wooden handles.

A very interesting discussion.

I'm a bit late to this party, but I'll throw in my thoughts.

I was wandering through a restaurant supply store when I found these Blade Safes. They are great for keeping your blades sharp and your fingers safe when digging through your cooking utensils.

When it comes to knives, quality pays for itself! During my culinary classes I borrowed some Messermeister forged knives from a friend of mine and they were amazing! Just a joy to use. I own some stamped knives and forged knives from Henckels but they don't begin to compare with the Messermeisters. If I were to cook professionally I would invest in some good knives.

For a reasonabe price, the Forschner line of knives made by Victorinox would be my first choice. They are professional quality without having to pay for a fancy name.

Thanks Joanne for the pictures and ideas. Haven't seen any of these in Brisbane but will keep my eyes open.

Just beginning on this camp oven journey - a great forum to learn heaps.

Joanne those Blade Safes are great, havent seen them here in Oz but then I havent been looking either.

No. 2 daughter won some tickets to a Food Fair last weekend and saw that Ramsey bloke. She took a friend Wink

and when she mentioned she was to look out for knives for her Mum he said he thought he could get a couple of Vitorinox ones that were being sold to butchers. So hopefully I have a couple of really good knives on the way

. I must remember not to put them in the dishwasher, or this that only for wooden handled ones?

Saw a couple of very nice chef's knives on American eBay t'other day so I rang Australian Customs to find out if it was legal to bring that sort of thing into Oz thru the post.
It is, they don't like spring loaded knives, daggers, flick blades or double edged blades, just thought you'd like to know.
I have a couple of Gustav Emil Ern chefs knives and a very old carbon steel knife I use, nice to have a really sharp blade when yer cookin'.

Carolyn don't put anything in the dishwasher that you treasure. Your knives will only take seconds to run under the hot tap-if you get it hot enough it will dry by itself.

Take it from me Carolyn the two don't mix. Although wooden handles are the worst in there.
Look after 'em and they will be good to you forever.

All the best
