[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 278911, member: 412"] Before having a discussion regarding which knives, you need to have a knock-down-dragout put-your-foot-down no-holds-barred vehement discussion about using cutting boards. If someone in the household is going to ignore knife edges and do their cutting upon plates, platters, and the like then buy yourself a new set of Ginsu's for Christmas every year. For large chunks of cooked meat, more often than not I use a set of 9" Rapala blades on an electric knife. Roasts, prime rib, beer-can chicken, etc all get the electric. Steady light pressure = straight effortless cuts. I prefer ceramic sticks in a block vs. a steel, but, I suspect that's because I haven't used a steel enough to be proficient with one. Ceramic sticks in a block are pretty much dummy-proof. Short of having to completely re-establish an edge, the fine sticks will clean up an edge really well. KDM, tell the Mrs. I'm semi-offended that I don't see the Catfish knife in the pic (grin). [/QUOTE]
