Personally, I think he is being generous though. If they work well for you, that's what counts.<br /><br />I tell you though - I used a lot of cheaper sets and was happy with them each - until I got better ones. I am desperately afraid that one day I will get to use a Shun or a Global in my hands - and won't want anything else!<br /><br />Sorry man, but over $100 for a single knife is just TOO MUCH!JackChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555459102129888601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974164719928070609.post-11187749145266947972010-09-23T00:21:20.385-04:002010-09-23T00:21:20.385-04:00Jack, I have a 30 year old set of Cutco knives tha...Jack, I have a 30 year old set of Cutco knives that I bought as salesman's samples, back when I was unintentionally taking an undergraduate course in <i>Why I'll Never Be a Salesman</i>. I paid way more for them than a college kid would ever need to spend on knives, and I think I sold about $30 worth of product before I threw in the towel... but I've been using those knives ever since. Cutco brags about their patented serrated edge pattern, but it's the paring knife and the chef's knife that I use most often, and they're both straight-edged. I'll probably invest in better knives eventually, but for now, they're better knives than I am a cook.Bill Dauphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734667209140390030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974164719928070609.post-43627975957800731332010-09-22T09:00:04.862-04:002010-09-22T09:00:04.862-04:00You know the saying

It teaches us to recognise our mistakes when we make them again.<br /><br />What kind of knives do you have - and do you keep them super-sharp?<br /><br />I have so many scars from various knives, I no longer count. Just two days ago, cutting some veg for a nice soup, I got three small nicks and two damaged finger nails. My knives are in serious need of a good sharpen (Calaphon Katana set - marginal but pretty).JackChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555459102129888601noreply@blogger.com
