Use a quality sharpening steel (the longer the better, and diamond steels are better still) and learn how to use it properly by watching how-to videos on YouTube, that is the best way to keep chef knives sharp.
Never use a sharpening stone. Never use a grinder (you will destroy your chef knife).

Hi,
What are some good quality, reasonably priced knives for domestic kitchen use?

Hi Annabelle, I propose the First Class 21cm Chef Knife from Solicut (German made). I have one at home and use it for EVERYTHING
Call my friends at “The Knife Shop” in Tauranga (07) 578-2020 and Albert or Christine can send one out to you. (It’s about $200).
Ek, $200! That sounds pretty expensive for a knife! Was thinking something a little cheaper….?
haha, then what you need is a knife block from Briscoes
