Originally posted by monochrome Actually disregard what I wrote about my knives. After reading some reviews I think I was a chump to buy them. They’re good enough for me but most reviews I’ve just read say to avoid them.
Not made in Canada - Made in China. They’re sharp enough for me and suit my needs but not professional knives. Sorry folks.
You weren't a chump, Paul... If they do what you want and do it well enough, there's no problem, right?
For my own purposes, I'm going to try Victorinox. I've read so many reviews since my earlier question and welcome advice that I'm convinced they're worth a try. But as @robtcorl kindly suggested, I'm going to start small... not with one knife, though, but two - a chef / carving knife and a paring knife, both with the "Fibrox" handles. If they're half decent (and reviews suggest much better than that), those'll get me through most of what I do. If they're not, it's only a very small financial risk. If I like them, I can add to them as necessary
Thanks again, folks
