Just wanted to throw a update out there and maybe inquire about the best places to get the items from. I went to a local place and found Sur La Table. Pretty cool place. Anyways, they had Shun, Global, Henkels, and Wusthof. I held pretty much all of them, and my least fav was prolly the...

yeah, I might have exaggerated a little bit hehe. I'll check out that kanatsune knife. thx for heads up.

Shun knives Ken Onion series....is it overpriced or is it worth its weight. I just saw them when I was looking at shun knives. The handles alone are as appealing as Jessica Biel in a swimsuit to be blunt.

As always, I appreciate all the input people are throwing out. This weekend, I went to BBB and Macy's to check out knives. I didn't see any of the Japanese knives I was looking for, but I did get a feel of some calphalon (sp), wusthof, and henkels. I didn't like most of the cal or henkels all...

sniff sniff...I think my brain is smoking...trying to read the 2 "background on steel" posts. I'll re-read it again when the smoke settles. Didn't realize it was that complex. I definitely appreciate all the input of everyone as well as its a huge learning experience. On the block sets, my...

Ok, I am new to cutlery. What invoked me to come here was, I have a friend who is doing the whole cutco thing...he is trying to help pay for his college...I actually think I tried that route in college myself but a diff company. Anyways, I feel that the knife set is decent quality and...
