Meat slicers and raw meat

I know many of you guys may have some high end knives.  But would you be satisfied with that Victorinox  set?  I don't want to pay a fair amount of $$ only to find they might not hold up well, or keep a good edge.

starting over again knowing what I do today I would jump on that $120 set. I already have 3 Victorinox knives, just ordered that 10" breaker today, but also have a collection acquired over the years of economical but solidly made Chicao Cutery knives. Oh yes, my wife also has a $250 set of white handled CutCo knives that are brand new in spite of being 25 years old because they are too good and too sharp so she is scared of them and they stay hidden away!

Thanks,  If they are good enough for you guys with all the cooking you do,  I should be very satisfied. 

Tom, I bought the 14" Victorinox from @SGH suggestion at www.Katom.com and i couldn't be happier it is a huge knife but there is nothing I can't cut.

For the money it's hard to beat Victorinox. Especially for reducing and breaking purposes.

I am wondering if slicers can cut raw meat as well or if I should invest in a sharper knife. japanese chef knife

have you done dry aged with the Victorinox?  when I am doing the dry aged that out later is a pain in the butt to cut through and I would love a better option.

I use this bad boy for steaking out my dry aged beef.

thanks guys, I added it my amazon wish list, I will be getting it before my next round of steak is ready.  going to start one after vacation in a few weeks, and get it ready for mothers day.

a lot of the slicers out there cannot cut more than 3/4-1".  I would definitely invest is a really good, very sharp knife.

Have a bad wrist, use the other hand.  If it's really exhausting,  you may not have an appropriately sharp knife.  Sharpen knife.

I wonder what a pre-frozen subprimal would look like after meeting a table mounted circular saw.

I wonder how long it took the Mangvan shill to dig up this old thread in order to hawk their website?

Points for effort, none for subtlety. Took the time to register on the forum, but didn’t pick a less obvious handle.
