Prices aren't bad on there, I'll bookmark that for next time I need sausage skins.

They sell ‘domestic’ amounts too.

How amazing! Thanks for that, jansman - they don't have the flat bit on the back to push down on when you're slicing through your turnip, though they're literally butchers knives. Though I do notice a *really* good price for the muslin - on websites and in shops primarily aimed at woman, its ten times the price!

A butchery steak knife does have a fairly broad spine.They are tough.I don 't often use a cleaver,I cut and then whack the spine with a ' fat basher' ( a butchers ' hammer'), much to the horror of my colleague.

Ah, I noticed the steak knives, I wondered whether they'd be something I could use. That just confirms it for me, when the lockdown is over, I'll go to Brighton and check out Nisbet's (which isn't on the old Steamer Trading site that I knew - that was Ship Street, Nisbets is outside the centre on London Road, traditionally it was quite a poor area even though its on the tourist route for cars/buses/coaches etc, but there's new investment coming in).

All good

The steak knives have no heel on the blade, good for cutting steaks, (I have one and they're very good) not so good for chopping veg as you'll be bashing your knuckles all the time.

The right tool for the right job, it'll cost you the same anyway so you might as well get the one that's designed for what you want to do with it.

I wondered what effect the shape of the blade might have when I was cutting veg (and I wouldn't be cutting meat at all, of course). The right tool for the right job, you're spot on, thanks Jamesey

I will grant that the shape has a bearing, and of course I am used to using my particular type of blade. Just remember, even an expensive blade is just a piece of steel if it isn’t sharp.

Absolutely - I have one of those long, circular sharpeners, I had the chance to buy it at a very reduced rate, and took it
