Reply to looking for a double walled insulated kids water bottle that doesn't leak by MonalisaMakeupMomma

Is it the top that leaks?

Unfortunately, all of the ones we have started to leak (no matter what brand) after a year or more of constant use (either nature preschool or daily elementary school use). We just replace the tops and they are good to go for another couple years. My only issue is that I dislike the cheaper replacement top style.

Exactly. It’s funny what you reach for sometimes …

My 5” santoku gets used all the time by the spouse and the eldest kid. It’s an inexpensive one that I picked up at a department store when I lived in the UK, probably paid like £20 because I was a grad student. It has remarkable good steel and despite taking a hit on the tip, it’s perfect for smaller hands.

This is good advice … I’d expand on two parts (as someone with a medium-sized collection of knives) …

Definitely don’t buy a set … they will contact knives/accessories that you never use. That said, if you will use, don’t worry about buying a weird/unique knife (one of my most used knives is a small serrated tomato knife)

Buy what you like. If a more expensive knife will make you happy and you will pull it and cook more with it, buy it! Part of the fun of cooking is using the tools that you love ❤️
