Just curious, but what exactly are YOU armed with in your kitchen?
Any special knives? Any unique and/or expensive tools at your disposal? How about tips? Share x]  In the shadows beneath the trees he waits. In the darkness under the moon he plots In the silence of the night he kills.

Here's my assortment of knives
 The first knife is called a Yanagiba-Bocho, or a Willow-Leaf knife made by SakaiTakayuki. It's generally used for fillets and slicing fish. The knife in particular is a low-end kasumi knife and it's worth about $250 USD. Kasumi means that it's made of two types of steel; a soft outer shell with a hard, brittle inner core. The second knife and third knives are Chef Knives, with the first being High-Carbon and the second Stainless. I use the H-Carbon knife for general purpose work around the kitchen. The third knife, I don't really even use all that much anymore. As for the fourth one, I believe it's called a Nakiri-Bocho. And it's mainly used in Japanese house-holds; along with the overly popular "Santoku knives". Because it's a stainless steel, I can't really do tsuma-kiri* with it, so I usually end up using it as a secondary vegetable knife for miscellaneous work. Just for size:  The last knife is your typical 4-5 in. steak knife. The Yanagiba measures about 300mm or roughly 1ft. *Tsuma-Kiri is when you peel a vegetable into long shavings. Very much like peeling an apple with a knife, but doing the entire vegetable and making very long and thin sheets; needs a VERY sharp knife* In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.

nothing nearly as glamourus
 i'm on the santoku bandwagon and currently have a caphalon 'katana' series 7" santoku...and two other santokus of smaller size (5" and 3" i think?)... They work fine for me because the gf and I only do normal cooking and do not need anything for sashimi like slicing abilities  i want to one day get a line from SHUN but I'm too poor...
