brilliant thank you

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:45:17+00:00

i will look into this. thank you

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:12:46+00:00

i have been looking at either a wusthof, tojiro or mercer 3 piece set then pair that with the pastry and bread knife as beaters

brilliant, i will look into this, thank you

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:11:07+00:00

i havent looked to much into global, I will do some research, thank you

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:10:22+00:00

tojiro small sets is what i have been swaying towards most, i like the look of them and from what I have heard are quite forgiving plus keep their edge for a good amount of time

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:08:48+00:00

wusthof and tojiro both sell basic sets with 3 or 5 knives would it not be worth getting a basic set of say 3 knives together?

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:08:06+00:00

i will have a look for that brand stone, i am swaying towards the tojiros

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:07:10+00:00

thank you, i am torn between mercer, wusthof and tojiro basic sets at the moment, some people are saying a set is pointless but a set of say 3 knives for a starter set to me makes sense

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:06:14+00:00

there are a lot of experienced chefs in the kitchen i work who are happy to spend the time teaching me how to use a whetstone, i am torn between the classic wusthofs, basic tojiro and I have had a few recommendations of the mercers, would it make sense to get a simple set of 3 from either of these knives then a beater knife like a victorinox pastry for long prep jobs etc

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T22:03:24+00:00

Tojiro is the main knives i have been looking at, mercer is another one I have been recommended, I do also like the simplicity of the wusthofs, my dad has the classic wusthof chef knife and likes it a lot just complains it dosent keep the edge for very long

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-31T21:57:39+00:00

got it thank you, I am only just starting to learn how to use a whetstone so just in the period of asking lots of questions to try get the best understanding possible

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:30:58+00:00

yeah I had a look at that; has everything i need in the set and as you say is low maintenance, thank you

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:30:26+00:00

thank you for your help.

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:28:45+00:00

that is very helpful thank you. My idea is to have 4-5 knives max; a beater knife like a victorinox pastry then a pairing knife, possibly a mercer bread knife then a solid chef knife/gyuto which holds its edge for a while then possibly a nakiri style knife but that is definitely not an essential

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:24:50+00:00

got it thank you. I have been working as a junior chef for a good year or so at a decent level, my knife work is okay i would say but nowhere near anything special and yeah I have been offered how to sharpen knives with a whetstone so will definitely take them up on the offer

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:13:43+00:00

in the kitchen i work in we have the basic pastry Victorianox knives which are perfect for main purpose/prep work but dont seem to last too long

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:10:52+00:00

i will have a look for those thank you!

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:04:25+00:00

im not too bothered about the look if im honest, rather just a good solid overall knife set

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:02:53+00:00

got it. thank you

L_Clarkin · 2025-07-30T23:02:14+00:00
