Based on the wonderful discussion we had on my gumbo post, I'd figure I ought to do another post in a similar fashion.
It seems that many dramatards completely lack any semblance of knowledge when it comes to the kitchen.
Keeping your knives sharp is a necessity if you plan on cooking anything at home.
For 150 dollars, you can have a great knife, and everything you need to take care of it.
I'm willing to give knife advice to anyone who asks. I feel it's my duty to educate dramatards on (arguably) useful life skills.
Also, unrelated, but wtf is shave butter? I got a walmart online order, and they ran out of the brand of shaving cream I bought. Rather than swapping the brand of the product, they gave me their shaving butter. They were also out of Sam's Purified Drinking Water

Shave butter is just shaving cream in a c*m form. Just rub it around your face and shave.
And its fricking gay. Clogs safety razors like a motherlover. Leaves a weird residue on your razor that builds up.
I just use artisanal vegan shave soaps because I'm a commiefornian and its my right to buy expensive gay shit like that.
Are Cutco knives trash? I got one for free from a buddy and left it in its scabbard and its edge rusted.

Never heard of cutco, had to look them up.
They're apparently fricking expensive. Huge handles, too.
Probably some of the most expensive machined knives you could get. For the same price you could get a good hand-made knife.
Not worth buying, but definitely worth keeping/restoring.

Cutco was like a MLM that used to go door-to-door selling knives to housewives back in the day.
But I never I legit don't know if they were actually any good.

I had a friend from my hometown who did the Cutco bullshit and everyone was like, "Dude it's an MLM scam, you're fricking yourself over." But he was so charismatic and knew so many people that he made ridiculous bank over one summer. Seriously. Like, every frickin' family we knew owned a set of these knives afterwards. I think he's a jazz saxophonist now

That makes sense. Fricking ridiculous prices for machined knives.
High quality hand-made knives can run you $200. These frickers are selling a 9 inch stainless machined knife for $217 on amazon.
Machined knives really can't improve past a certain point. Charging $200+ for one is criminal. My favorite machined knife is from Fuji Cutlery, and I guarantee its just as good as a cutco. It's $40 compared to cutco's $200.
