Sabatier kitchen knives

[Captain Volvo]

Every kitchen knife I own is Sabatier

I'd never buy anything else.

Good for you.

This might actually be worth talking about, instead of differentiating erotic films from porn films.

Morrisons professional? For the eat-at-home cook, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Interesting this comment about Sabatier.

I have a Sabatier knife that inherited about 20 years ago. It sharpens with a steel to a neat, fine edge, even though it is still a relatively thin blade, and it's my favourite for cutting onions and garlic into the finest of slivers.

I have bought a Lion Sabatier and a Stellar Sabatier cook's knife in the last few years, on the basis of this first one, but I have found that the edges becomes ragged, and don't seem to sharpen as well. Perhaps it just me not sharpening correctly, but I don't reckon that either Lion or Stellar are a patch on the older version, and are seriously trading on old laurels.

In the meantime I bought a couple of Henkels, and haven't looked back. The edges are great and they sharpen very well. In fact probably too well as I jammed the smaller one into my finger the other night and it went in very deep!

Sabatier don't exist any more, they couldn't keep the rights to the brand name because they were going bust (or something similar) and so many companies use it now...
