All information is appreciated, whether or not it fits in my budget. Hopefully, taking a picture of the ikea knife shows how even the 15 dollar kitchen aid is an improvement. I figured my new knife might get a few eye rolls unless it had that context. It may not be fancy.... but in my kitchen it is.

In defense of the Ikea knife, anything nicer would have just been a waste sitting unused. Our kitchen was used like a large hallway for the past 6 years.
