I guess I would not fit in well in those circles, as I would be quite proud of owning 40 year old Chicago! Plebeians [commoners] like myself use Dexter Russell. At a fancy Dinner Party do folks actually pay attention to Cutlery?

Kristin Meredith:
Nice looking knife.  Thanks for the excellent review.

I still do not have a slicing knife. I use an 8" all purpose type knife that came with a cheapo knife block set for my slicing.  Thanks for posting this p, get's me thinking on something I want to get in the near future.

Great observation.  The guests probably don't notice.  It's all me.  They don't notice the mistakes in the deck construction, but the guy who built it does (me).

That's why I added the "Snob Appeal" subtitle.

EDIT:  Dexter Russell, huh.  My dad (custom butcher) used a lot of Russell knives and steels.  They were hard to distinguish, visually, from his other favorite, Chicago Cutlery.

My Dexter Russell knives are my favorites and hold an edge better than any others that I own.    They aren’t fancy but they are great bang for the buck.
