What’s your go to carving knife?
Victorinox, Lamson, Dexter Russell, any of the German makers around Solingen, or Japanese around Seki City. You probably want something like a granton edge slicer or a butcher knife profile. But check out some people using them on YT or talk with a local meat cutter for some input.

Does this make me a mod now?
I have that same knife love victorinox. I will mention another great knife brand nobody knows about that I buy from as well. Lamson cutlery has been made in Massachusetts USA since 1837 and is one of the oldest cutlery companies in the US.

Brands That Used to Be BIFL — But Aren't Anymore?

Is there any good utensils/utensil sets worth the money?
I have a bunch at different pricepoints, but really only use 4 or 5 things: Edlund Heavy Duty 12” Tongs (I prefer these over my expensive oxo tongs, since they are sprung lighter), a Lamson Fish Turner for scraping and flipping (it’s sharp, and the perfect thickness for doing everything), All Clad Silicone Spatulas, and any generic wooden spoons. I think mine is from Sur La Table, but I can’t remember. All in it’s like 40 bucks, zero plastic, and comfortable

Important Kitchen Essentials?
The All Clad tools are pretty but heavy. There’s better stuff out there. Break apart kitchen shears. I have ones from Lamson. They’re not as feature rich as say the ones from Ernest Wright but they definitely break apart which I think is more important. It’s also all metal so it’ll never melt. A metal slotted offset spatula, sometimes called a fish spatula. I think it’s the best at pretty much all spatula stuff. Just make sure it’s not overly flexible, it should be on the stiff side more like a burger flipper. The one silicone thing you might want, since you wont use it much, is a silicone spatula of the scraping kind, not flipping kind. It’s great for scraping frosting, dough, pudding whatever out of a bowl. Much better than a spoon. Make sure it’s completely covered in silicone with no seams. Or you could get a wood scraper instead. Not quite as good but it’s no silicone, so there you go. All metal tongs. I have the Siri Yamagi tongs which are simple, light, and good looking. You could get longer ones from another brand but locking tongs are a little annoying, not as handy. A wood spoon. Doesn’t have to be huge. Doesn’t matter which brand. I have one from Flying Tiger for $2. It’s over 10 years old. All I did was sand it once when I first got it. An edgeless can opener or it’s called a safety can opener. I have one from Kuhn Rikon. The one I have is all about cans, but they have versions with extra features. A microplane for grating. The one All Clad tool I have are the measuring spoons. They’re pretty and the weight isn’t a turn off, just makes me think they’ll last forever. For measuring cups I have Oxo, and they have really good features but I don’t think they’ll last forever. I’ve had them a long time though, maybe 10-15 years. If they last another 10 I’ll be happy, but I could see it being 20.

Need a set of kitchen knives that will last a lifetime? Any recommendations?
Lamson has been making knives in Massachusetts since 1837. The vintage walnut style is my favorite. Great company

What’s a kitchen item you bought once and never had to replace?
Made in USA fish spatula by Lamson. Shit I didn't even buy it- it came with a place I rented 14 years ago. I still have it and use it every day.

BIFL - Best products from the USA
I only have a few of their utensils and not any of the knives but Lamson makes great spatulas. The fish spatulas (good for so much more than fish) come in righty and lefty versions too. I really want to buy more but I already have too many kitchen things. Lodge also sells a line of US made enameled cast iron dutch ovens now.

$500 BIFL Health/Wellness products?
I feel your pain, friend. I’ve been fly fishing since I was a kid so between the fisherman in my family we have amassed a lot of gear and I refuse to buy anything new. But I have had my eye on a Lamson reel for my 2wt.
