But if it's hand-folded steel or hand made, give it the respect it deserves.<br /><br />stephcookie: feels good to have a big knife aye :Dlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01939864310916778972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47959746288536347.post-65559893444996436582009-08-11T10:37:52.873+10:002009-08-11T10:37:52.873+10:00Hehe that vegetable chopper is one sexy looking kn...Hehe that vegetable chopper is one sexy looking knife.

They get the knife very sharp but is there a reason I shouldn't use them? I'm pretty happy with 3 Mundials including the 26CM one like yours but I could do with a new bread saw..Paul Najarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321718476840840839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47959746288536347.post-2771110409626337482009-08-11T07:28:46.868+10:002009-08-11T07:28:46.868+10:00You didn't specify what "the wolverine&qu...You didn't specify what "the wolverine" was.<br /><br />I have the classic Wushtof knife set, which was a birthday present from some time ago.
