A Great Inexpensive Place To Get Good Kitchen Knives
My day in and day out Chef’s Knife is not something I obtained from a Fancy-Schmantzy Gourmet Boutique..nope.. I got mine at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. No kidding. And this was a case where both my Inner Scrooge as well as my Inner Green Self could both be happy.
What I got was a high carbon steel knife for about five bucks. I’m guessing it use to belong to some chef sometime in the past. Sure it needed sharpening, but I took care of that and right now I can almost loose a thumb it is such an effective knife. But think..not only did the darn thing cost only five bucks but it was a perfectly good tool that was recycled. No need to mine, smelt, manufacture, transport with all the unnecessary energy and pollution involved. And if this weren’t enough you’d be contributing to a very worthwhile organization at the same time. It really doesn’t get any better than this. But the key in finding such bargains is to check-in every so often until what you want shows up. Now the Gourmet Shop Knives are very fine, don’t get me wrong. I just like the idea of how pleased the original owner would be if he knew that his knife is still contributing to excellent meals for an entirely different generation.
