Reply to comment by Fat_Head_Carl in Hey reddit what’s the BIFL kitchen knife set? by timmycosh

This is the best answer here. Wusthof (and Henckels) flagship lines cannot be beaten on durability. And I say that as a chef knife hobbyist and collector who's owned hundreds of blades from makers all over the world.

Edit: fixed spelling on Henckels

Thank you.

From a sheer utility standpoint, that fibrox will do everything needed from a chef's knife though, and it's definitely bifl.

Yeah no doubt. Meant to comment on that. Fibrox is the best value in kitchen knives by a mile.

Right on

It should be noted to stick with the Wusthof/Zwilling and avoid Henckels as the Henckels are not made to the same standard anymore. The Wusthof are still excellent though.
