TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Don't get me wrong, Henckels makes some really good knives, it's just my opinion that they're overpriced a bit, probably due to the high brand recognition.

OK, for anyone who wants something to aspire to, here's a list of my knife collection:

Forschner Cleaver (all of my forschner blades are old, from when they used higher carbon steel and didn't use those godawful fibrox handles)
12" Forschner Chef knife
10" Forschner Chef knife
Chinese cleaver (dunno who made it but it's good steel)
(2) 8" custom-made damascus chef knives from Richmond Cutlery
8" japanese damascus chef knife made by Kanetsune (this is my favorite knife and the one I generally use most at work)
6" ceramic knife made by Asahi
TCM boning/fillet knife
5" Chicago Cutlery santoku
5" Mundial utility knife
10" forschner serrated bread knife
Boker bird's beak paring knife
Shears
Tomato corer
mandolin slicer
crinkle-cut chopper

I'm probably forgetting a couple of things, but that's most of it. Out of all that stuff, I do probably 85% of my professional knifework with just the Kanetsune.

Stab them.

Or wait until they are over, and start to work the dings out of the edges with a whetstone, while glaring at them.

I like this.  :lulz:

I worked at a kitchenware store that sold Henckels, and I had a 40%, discount, so that's how I ended up with them. I have the Four-Star.

My brother love his ceramic knife, but it took him some time to get used to it. Other than that, almost his entire chef roll is Wusthof and a Japanese brand I forget the name of.

I can't be the only person who appreciates overweight crude iron meat cleavers.

I love cleavers too.

Yeah, but not the kind that are shiny and small enough for a young person to use.  I mean the kind that rust when you put them away wet and weigh at least as much as a hardbound dictionary.

I like the kind you can conceal in your apron, and brandish it with a cold steely look in your eye, akin to a mad German fishwife.
