My finance has decided to buy me a nice chef's knife for her engagement present to me. But it has to be one that fits her hand as well as mine. We went to the local kitchen store, and they had many of the popular brands from global to shun's.
We both liked the Ken onion chef's knives quite a lot. They are pricey, but seemed just have an effortless rock to them. I personally couldn't tell much of a difference between the elite and the classic knives, aside from the 100 dollar difference. She claimed she could feel a bit more comfort out of the elite.
Both knives can be found on the sur la table web site. I would link it but I am now allowed until I have 15 posts.
Has anyone run into these knives at all? Is the elite really worth an extra 100 bucks? If we do decide to buy them I'm pretty sure we will pick one up on ebay at half the price. Just unsure at this point if it's worth the extra dough.
