I've just put me plate to steep in the sink and for some reason focused on the cutlery 
It made me think, what kind of cutlery have you all got? is it plain? Is it patterned? is it a 'one' piece' knife or is it a blade built into a handle? Yes I know, I'm odd 
Mine are one piecers with patterned handles

LOL Baz, I do have one knife with a handle on that was bought as a sharp knife........it isn't any more. I do have an electric knife sharpener but It's a faff to get it out of the cupboard and I don't use the knife much anyway
Mish mash of cutlery accrued thru the years sprouty.
Generally metal fork and two piece knife - don't like all metal knives.
At times I think modern forks could be sharper too - don't like blunt forks either.
A mix of plain stainless steel and decorated steel!
I have a big kitchen knife that I love. It slices cheese really thinly for sandwiches, amongst other things. I realised the other day that I must have had it for 20 years.

Same in my house, Velvet.

Well you know, a blunt fork is no good for spearing your sausage and your peas is it

Plain stainless steel - 6 forks, 6 rounded knives, 6 sharp knives - my special cutlery is quite heavy stainless steel bullet shaped.
I don't think this is an odd thread at all - I love cutlery - how weird is that?
WHilst we are on the subject of cutlery.....Where do all the teaspoons go?
Had to go look Two piece knives and one piece forks , quite sharp

Mine used to go into packed lunches, never to be seen again!

Haha! Yes! Classic
I've got some old knives that I stole on my Mum. When I say stole I mean I borrowed them and never gave them back. Anyway all the cutlery is one piece, some plain, some patterned.
I borrowed my mums spud knife once and lost it.....you'd be suprised at how angry a woman can get when you lose her spud knife 
it was older than me though and she can't peel spuds since.
Ells! How could you! 
Oh no, not the tattie knife 
I'd like to know where it's gawn Sky. I mean, how can you lose a spud knife. It's either in the cutlery draw or the washing up, isn't it?

I think it might have fell into the bag of peelings and then was thrown into the bin. I didn't realise til she asked for it back and then I couldn't find it. God she was fuming! That was about 8 years ago and she still mentions it when she can.
Well you know, a mother and her things

Oh dear, sorry i laughed there
My cutlery drawer's like a jumble sale Got all sorts in there
Oh, I've got other stuff too Slinki It just ain't for cutlery is it?

Not much cutlery in mine, truth be told ! No room cause of all the other junk in there

I have thrown a few away with the potato peelings...........and I agree with your Mum, it takes ages to get used to a new peeler 
Slinki........I know what you mean. I've got pet food can covers in there. I haven't got a pet and my mam's rolling pin. I ain't never gonna use it 
allthough I do know how to make pastry. I watched her enough times

I have a potato peeler - no other potato peeler will do - I'd go apeshit if someone nicked it - I can't peel with a knife!

You are Mini Cosi and I've got just one thing to say to you! Where's my tattie knife??? and go tidy your bedroom right now!
Honestly, my daughter did the exact same thing with a favourite veg knife and I still find it hard to forgive her. She treated me to a specially designed tomato knife but it's just not the same. (Cuts tomatoes great though!)
I did try to replace it, honest! It was just so old that nowhere sells the same kind of knife anymore. It was a flat rounded blade and had no handle on it and to look at it you wouldn't have thought it could cut butter never mind peel a spud.
Hmmm off to ebay to see if they might have one.
(This thread has given me the guilts now)
I have a potato peeler - I think. I haven't used it for a hell of a long time. I use oven chips and buy small 'boil yourself' potatos
I have to say..........I may be buying a halogen oven so maybe more healthy cooking is on the cards

I've got a lovely carving knife which has a matching fork - except for the fact that they no longer look like a 'set'. The knife is in perfect condition - the fork has NO handle whatsoever and really should be thrown in to the bin. Trouble is, the fork has perfect, really thin tines that can skewer through a joint like a needle through butter. It's the bestest fork ever and I can't seem to find one anything like it as a replacement.
What the fruitloop am I doing discussing forks and knives at 11.50pm on a Tuesday night?

Oops! Wrong expression methinks! I meant potatos you don't have to peel before you boil.....ready made and sold in supermarkets
I have a perfect carving fork ..............it was my mother in laws - I can't even begin to explain why it's perfect - it just is.
How funny to find people like me - I love cutlery/kitchenware!
