I recently broke the blade of a knife in our kitchen and we need a replacement for peeling fruit, chopping vegetables, etc.I presume it's as a result of recent knife attacks that ordinary kitchen knives seem to have vanished from the usual shops and from online sources as well. Does anyone have any ideas?

Amazon doesn't seem to have any shortage, though I'd expect you might need to provide ID on delivery.

How to buy a kitchen knife?

We get that occasionally. I suspect it happens when two items touch whilst in the dishwasher and some form of galvanic action ensues. I _think_ the blades are made from a different grade of stainless.

Back in the 70s when I was a student I splashed out on a nice kitchen knife. Carbon steel, and a **** to keep looking nice. But it's still sharp and used daily. The edge has got a bit wavy, and I am considering grinding it straight.

A good knife should last a lifetime.
