I have loads of knives, probably more than I really need, but I definitely have my favourites. Another favourite is one from a boxed set I bought, again a cheapo.

My current favourite is a no-label Sabatier-style one bought in a French hypermarket at an unrealistically low price. If you look very carefully with the light glancing across the blade, you can just make out the word 'Thiers' which is where the blade stock for a lot of French knives (Sabatier, Laguiole,...) comes from. I used to do a lot of my cooking with a cheap US high carbon steel (not stainless, but it just went a bit dark, not rusty) knife that was a knock-off of the Green River outdoorsman's knife. That took and held a beautiful edge. Knives are worth hunting for. My current favourite is a no-label Sabatier-style one bought in a French hypermarket at an unrealistically low price.
