Sitka kitchen knife

[Dustin B.]

We use the shit out of the victorinox pearing knives that you can buy a 4 pack of for like $20 on Amazon.

I'm a big victorinox fan myself! Don't leave the house without my swiss army knife.

Victorinox and stop wasting your money.

As (almost) always i default to the bush/lodge cooks in east Africa who sharpen their knives on rocks and produce better meals out of teeny kitchens than most 5-star restaurants.

Meet Jolam, who made the finest steak dinner (Boran cattle from the laikipia plateau) that I have ever had. He is a magician in the kitchen, and a really wonderful guy.

I own a dozen or so victorinox knives. Their chief knives are top notch.

I've been using nothing but Misen for 3 years & you'll never convince me there's anything better (and I've used some incredibly high dollar kitchen knives)

Yea man, I don’t have a ton of money tied up in cutlery but had pieced together what I thought was a nice set (mainly wusthoff with some others mixed in). If I would’ve known about misen then I’d likely only have that and saved a bunch of money. At the time i bought mine, I think they only had a chef and santoku but looks like they’ve added to their offering in the last year or so. Awesome knives for sure and priced nicely for what you get

The Standard chef's knife & utility knife cover 90% of my kitchen needs. I use a Kessaku paring knife to complete the set. And i only have that because it fits my hand perfectly for delicate work. I picked it up in the store & fell in love with it.

I love Sitka gear, but no way would I spent that much on a knife from a major brand. I’d rather get one custom made locally.

People buy their clothes so…. Yeah I guess someone will buy it

 

[flyfisher117]

Of course people will buy it. You could slap a Sitka sticker on a pile of elk shit and someone would buy it.

There is a market for nice knives. 399 may or may not be bad depending on design and specs. I personally won't be buying it. There's other custom/semi custom knife makers I'd rather support.

Rarely spend money on a knife, get plenty of the throw aways from work that still have plenty of life left. Victorinox are great, think you can get them cheap.View attachment 555275

Dang, my dad used to get very similar knives from a neighbor who was a butcher. I guess they couldn't use them after they were sharpened too many times but they were great. I think he bought them for $1 if I recall.

Anyone have any Sitka stickers for sale? Early retirement, here I come!

Do you mean no one on here bought the Sitka guitar and cooking knife?

 

[waldo9190]

There are MANY kitchen knives for less than $200 that would knock the socks off that knife. No, I haven't used it, but you are paying 90% of that $399 for the name alone.

I paid way less for two, a Global sushi knife(on closeout cheap), wicked sharp and really nice, also have a full set of Wusthof, the set is 20 years old and still as good as new, I have a bit of trouble sharpening the chef knife but I suck at sharpening anyway!

 

[Honyock]

Made In Chef knife for $101 does just fine. Can't imagine the Sitka is $300 better.

I agree. I feel like you could buy a lot nicer things for $400 than a kitchen knife.

 

[Chuckybmd]

I did take a serious look at it. I don’t like the DLC coating, but I love magnacut steel. It looks like a solid knife. Nice styling. Not super interested in the sheath per se.

Clearly expensive.

But alas, like many others I have a Victorinox Fibrox chef knife that was inexpensive and really works perfectly. It’s hard to plate replace something that works so well.

 

[displacedtexan]

Based on the number of suckers who buy the 400 dollar meateater brand knives I feel like they won't have a problem selling these things to the fanboys.

You mean this $300 knife? https://www.themeateater.com/pages/meatcrafter

I have a slightly more expensive version. No regrets.

 

[Macchina]

I bought 5. One for each finger.

sitka knife=show me you have money to throw w/o actually telling me. Love their clothes but the whole sitka studio is a little much.
