Jeremy, what kinda of cheffing you specialize in? All the chefs I know all are wonderfully competent all around but they all have a zest or passion for something in particular.

I use a set of left-handed japanese cooking knives made by this guy. They blow my parents henkels out of the water and can't be beat for the price in my experience. Just remeber japanese steel is only sharpened on one edge so if your left handed make sure you get left handed knives.

I like them tall enough so you can can a good groove goin' on with doing ones sous-chef responsibilities at the veggie station without skinning the knuckles. I prefer German or nice Japanese, but it's all in the balance and how the handle feels. That is just me though, the way a knife feels is a very individual thing.

Of course, I nearly sliced the top of my index finger off a couple years ago while coring a cabbage, so perhaps I shouldn't be talking about knives.
