Finally found Excalibur! (Warning: vegan content)
5 Stars
Finally found Excalibur! (Warning: vegan content)
I am an aspiring, maybe somewhat accomplished vegan cook. I spent the last 7 years slumming it with a Chicago Cutlery block, followed later by another cheap-o set I literally got on Groupon that, like most starter blocks, was chalk full of way too many superfluous gizmos. I was time to step up my game. I was on a mission to build the perfect (minimalist) vegan cutlery collection beginning with le chef!I scoured the Internet and read ALL the knife review blogs. Sure, the Wustoff Classic (let's call it WC8) came up a lot, but many reviews suggested that it may be overkill for the plant based diet.Even Good Eats, while praising the WC8, recommended the Global G2 for a veggie-based diet. So, I tried the Global and various dainty and ornate Asian/Western/Hybrid knives. They all felt awkward in my hand, especially the Global with its sharp bolster (or lackthereof). The WC8 just felt right, like a sword smithed just for me. The balance is impeccable.So, I got it for a steal on Amazon, it was $40 less than Sur La Table's price, and I got it the next day! It came out of the box gorgeous with a nice edge. A few honing swipes later, she was ready to rock!I cut the most wickedly even Tempeh strips and Zuchini slices ever... and can it dice onions, please!!!This one is a keeper. Is it overkill for the cruelty free crowd? Maybe... but it fits my hand like a bionic tofu-murdering machine. With a the right knife skills (pinch grip and and understanding of when and how to rock the perfectly curved blade), this knife will take you places, for a long time! If and when I ever do wear it out, I'll probably be ready for the 10" version, because I like to go hard. Glad I started with the 8" though. A+
