Shortest Time You have ever owned a knife?

I won a 10.5 inch Theirs, 4star Elephant Sabatier on Ebay with a bid I didn't think would win.

Knife shows up yesterday. I could have sworn it was never used. Anyways, clean it up from 50+ years of sitting. Straighten a slight curve to it, shine it up a bit and take it to the stones.

I took it to work tonight and a line cook wanted it more than me.

I had it a grand total of 24 hours. I diced a whole onion with it.

Time to look for another one.

 

Takeda 240 mm gyuto with the newer grind, used it a shift , after wedging every thing I threw at her , didn't feel like thinning it Didn't enjoy the rustic look either , put on BST next day

 

A Shun Premier 8" gyuto. had it for 2 hours then sold it to a friend

 

Dang. I would've taken that off your hands haha. If you get another, let me know!

 

I need to find a couple! They will be found!

 

I've briefly owned some knives, but never that briefly.

 

I've never gotten rid of anything in under two weeks.

 

I've had a knack more moving knives in the kitchen I work in.but I also know what people are looking for and keep my ear to the ground... I'm always listening. does that make me a salesman? Hahahaha

 

I bought a suien vc cleaver once, i literally used it for 5 minutes when i realized that knive was all wrong for me.

 

I had a new batch 240 ITK, for about 24 hours. Recieved a 240 Shig the same day as the ITK, and thought it performed better. Sold on the BST within minutes, and minus any pics!

 

Great stories gents. Keep em coming!

 

Bought a Moritaka 210 Gyuto to use as GF knife. Parted with it in less time than it took to rust...

 

dt aeb-l itk, lasted less than a week before i wanted to get rid of it

 

Why?

 

i thought it was a crap knife

 

yeah i actually owned 3 different dt itks at 3 different times. i never kept one for longer than a month. overhyped knife IMO. and yes were both refering to the aeb l version.

 

So what do you like/dislike about them? And which maker would you go for?

 

kinda getting off topic there. start a new thread and we can discuss it.

 

Will do.

 

You normally need a crowbar to prise a knife off me. Shortest time was an Hedgehog cleaver - onsold it to a work colleague after about 3 days
