What is your favorite brand of cooking knives that stay sharp and do not rust?

[KP11]

I am looking to buy a few knives...probably not a whole set since I never use all the knives. I want a Chef's, paring, serrated knife, and maybe a few other knives.

I am looking at the Rachel Ray East West knife as one option.
What line of Henckels? E.g International, Twin...

I love the RADA knives. They are made in the USA and come with a lifetime guarantee.

You can buy all sorts of different knives. They sharpen up really well. I even bought the little sharpener they sell and it works wonderfully.

These knives are usually sold by organizations for fund raisers, but you can order them on line.

I like them because they are made in the USA!!!!!!

I've had very good luck with Global, Shun, and Hoffschner. All are stainless steel, so rust is not an issue, and they hold their edges well if you hone regularly. I use my Globals the most and have only had to have them sharpened once in the last 6 years, although the Chef's and paring knife are about due.

My Shun Santoku is only a few months old but is rapidly becoming my favorite knife ever, and my Hoffschner carving knife is 8-10 years old and going strong...of course it doesn't get used as often as the others.

The Rachel Ray is prolly fine as long as it's a good stainless steel blade.

Happy cooking.

I love my Forschner Victorinox knives and highly recommend them.
