You’re right that ceramic knives are bullshit, but your price point for a decent real knife is way low. $40 knives will cut things, but they won’t hold an edge and they feel awful, except maybe meat cleavers and paring/utility knives. For a main 8-9" chef’s knife don’t go below $150. Also avoid stainless steel if possible. Carbon steel is harder to take care of (no dishwasher, rub with oil before putting away) but dulls pretty much never (and it looks cool.)

Most likely they’re avoiding us. I would.

Right, that explains all the former FCC chairmen now lobbying for ConAgra and Monsanto.
