Has anyone used these? They are fairly inexpensive and are made from carbon steel, which apparently holds a sharp edge much longer. On the downside, they need to be wiped clean, or they will rust. But for about $40, you can get 5 knives, very versatile.
I have mostly Henckels knives, which I DO like(& a few Cutco I bought from a kid at church, that I HATE), but I feel as though I am constantly sharpening them.
Reviews are mixed, but it sounds as though the folks that know how to sharpen a knife decently, are quite happy with them.
Anyone have these?

Lisa I have 4 Old Hickory knives. I have 2 butcher and 2 smaller knives. I bought them 21 years ago and still use them. Yeah you do have to wipe them off or they do rust. I think they are pretty good knives and mine have been sharpened many times.

Hi Lisa,
The Old Hickory knives will be a good investment -- they are a classic. I remember my parents using them and I have used mine for over 30 years. They do keep an nice edge, and are easy to sharpen. If they do get a little rust on them, I just scrub the blade with one of those green scratchy dish scrubbers and some baking soda --comes right off! In fact that is a good way to clean them all of the time. They will develope a nice "vintage" patina and will last for many years.
