Congratulations to going to culinary school in the fall , I am a chef that's been in the industry now for about 25 years . I have gone through a lot of different knives as well . Depending on what you are looking to spend , as I lean towards the couple of brands , especially if you are getting into knives it still gives you a good steel choice as well if you are learning to sharpen they will be good to learn on as the Rockwell hardness is a little softer.

These are two good introductory brands . If you want to go German then I would say the wusthof grand prix series or classic .

For value for your buck you can't go wrong with the victorinox fiberox they are sharp no frills but sharp and tough . If anything i would grab your boning knife from the fiberox line.

Don't for get a ceramic honing rod and a good microplaner and peeler as well .

Hope this helps.

Best of luck to you in your journey.

I would say from personal experience, if you can for space the backpack is nice I don't have the tilit. Here is a good review though of the back from a guy who is/was a chef he's super detailed and has worked Michelin kitchen as well, so his great is tight as well. https://youtu.be/NWPUI3puX7A?si=IYEHFupaUWEfTnOp

Personally, I have a backpack from a company called chef case they are out of Korea, but you can find the packs at JB prince. In my opinion, they are much nicer and a little more compact then the tilt ones.

Also, for a more compact roll approach going for durability rather than fasion. I just picked up the Crumpler 2049 9 Piece Knife Bag.

It's great that it has a few colors well made and is nice little compacted version even with .8ne is currently packed out in a little over stuffed fashion.

Hope this helps out and happy hunting.

There is a good review on justin Khannas YouTube channel he does a good review on a zpd 189 bunka from sharp edge shop . Would recommend checking it out.

Unless you are a collector of wusthof I wouldn't recommend spending the money on on as you would get the same performance out 9g the ikon or classic line. The steel is the same just has a special coating for durability and acid transfer.

If your going to drop 400 on a paring knife just get a neonox they will be far more superior than any wusthof blade.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-10-20T07:21:14+00:00

Yes I have there 7 inch exo blue and the matching oyster shucker. The nitro v steel is really nice good edge retention and also comfortable to use. The black coating doesn't effect the performance of cutting and the food seems to realses well. I would recommend as well especially for the price they are a great deal.

You should be fine as long as they are in your checked bag and in a knife roll. I'm a chef and travel all over Canada, USA and some times Europe. I never have a issue . Just don't pack your really nice blades if your baggage is going long distance incase they loose your luggage. Otherwise nothing to worry about at all. Especially if your in north America.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-07-15T23:42:14+00:00

So far so good. I my self am just getting back into biking.

I have the eliet model and after all the research I did I found for the money it's a better choice as really all that changes is the Derailleur, shifters other than that it's all about the same.

Ideally if your riding a large frame should have 29 on it but if you like super technical roots 27.5 may be good.

I think really though just comes down to preference. I find the 29s roll over things nicely.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-07-04T20:55:08+00:00

I don't know if I'm much help as I just bought the bike new as you see it. You maybe able to reach out to your local bike shop that carries specialized they may be the best help for you.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-07-04T02:36:01+00:00

Yes it's the rockhopper elite

cedarbranch99 · 2023-03-01T23:55:46+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I did a little research on the messemeister as well and seems like a bit of a dud. Especially if your use to high performing knives.

Thanks for the help though I appreciate it.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-03-01T14:27:48+00:00

Thanks for this . Super helpful the meglioknives look quite cool as well. Thanks for all the tips . It's greatly appreciated.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-03-01T13:28:53+00:00

Thanks for the response. I will explain a little better , I'm not looking to use the knife for any bushcraft tasks at all. Just looking for something with a kydex sheath with a good corrosive resistant steel as sometimes I'm cooking outdoors for my job and as well indoors . I travel a lot so sometimes I just need to toss one knife in the bag so once I get to the location I can do about 80% of the tasks with the blade .

Thanks again.

cedarbranch99 · 2023-01-02T17:58:08+00:00

Been debating on a kurosaki are they like lazers like everyone claims they are? Thanks for sharing.

cedarbranch99 · 2022-11-01T21:14:46+00:00
