What do you do to care for your cooking knives?
I was just wondering, I personally do the normal, sharpen them once in a while, always wash them by hand and oil them occasionally as well. Was wondering what else you guys do?

Don't forget to bathe them in the blood of the infidel overnight.

Sharpen them once in a while and almost always wash them by hand. That's about it. I don't use hard surfaced cutting boards.

I didn't put that in, since it really goes without saying, anyone who cares about their knives do that!Leonaerd wrote:Don't forget to bathe them in the blood of the infidel overnight.

Wooden magnet strip, steel every time I use it, sharpen & strop every few weeks, never in the dishwasher, don't cut bone or on glass/metal, dry off as soon as cleaned. P. much it.
This is what I use mostly, btw:
27 cm blade, sharp as sharp can get.

My Santoku knife was delivered yesterday... can't wait to try it out!

Re: What do you do to care for your cooking knives?
my wustof classics were bought for cutting. everything and anything, bone or not. steel every time it comes out, and then before it goes back after a hand wash. my knives get used. Ceramic kit when it needs an edge freshening. the 9" chef's knife that I use most is like 10 yrs old now, may need a new one in another 5 yrs.
On another note, I have like an $8 santuko knife from marshall's that I sharpened to a fine killing/cutting machine. It does the work too, and I don't have to care about that one so much. It is a thinner knife, so its edge dulls fast though.

For the amount of cooking I do(and enjoy), my knives are embarassingly bad. I hone the ones I use once a week but they stink.
