I’m not kidding, this is a terrible product. I hope someone else doesn’t make the mistake I did. Fortunately I was lucky in that the seller decided to give me my money back (I still had to pay for shipping to and from the seller which came to ). At the time, I couldn’t find any reviews for this product and I thought they couldn’t possibly screw something like that up…at least for what I wanted to use it for.

If you /do/ buy this thing, you’ll be sorry…mark my words.

There are two basic types of steak knives that you can get as a set. One is a serrated knife, and the other is a straight blade. The serrated knife for cutting steaks is the most common. The serrated blade allows this type of steak knife to cut through me easily with little effort. Also, the serrated steak knives will very rarely need to be sharpened. The only downside is that when you need to sharpen these knives it can be very difficult. You may have to send them to professional and pay a few extra dollars to have it done correctly.

The straight edge steak knife is not as common as it serrated cousin, but it has a few advantages. One of the main advantages is that it can easily be sharpened. This can save you a lot of money and frustration. The straight edge steak knife is very sharp so you need to be careful when you’re using them because it is very easy to cut yourself. A straight edge steak knife is recommended for people who are a little more experienced with using knives.

When you are ready to buy a set of steak knives, take your time and researched the top brands. One of the best rants I have found is called Victorinox. The Victorinox steak knife set is a high quality set of steak knives that was specifically created to be reasonably priced and to last a very long time.

Pickings are slim for those looking to spend less than a hundred dollars on a knife set. There are really only a couple brands I’d recommend that sell sets for less than a hundred dollars. The first is Farberware. While you aren’t going to find a set of Farberware knives in the kitchen of most chef’s world-wide, you’re getting a good blade for the money. The value stops at the blade. Farberware sets look nice, but it’s obvious where they cut corners to keep the cost down. The handles are cheap, and are easily dinged up and chipped. As long as you aren’t rough with your knife set, you can get a decent blade for a good price from Farberware.

The second sub-100 dollar kitchen knife set I’d recommend is any one of the many cheaper Ginsu sets. it might be surprising to some to hear that Ginsu knives are made in America. They are made from Japanese steel in a manner similar to the way samurai swords used to be made. Ginsu knives were made famous in the early 80’s via a set of infomercials showing them cutting through all kinds of things normal knives couldn’t handle. The cheaper Ginsu knives are made of a lower grade of Japanese steel than the high-end sets, but you still get a super-sharp set of knives at a low price. Just make sure you clean and dry them after every use and they’ll last you a long time.

If you can afford to spend a little bit more money, you’ll be rewarded with a much better set of knives. The sets on offer for between one and two hundred dollars are made of better steel, and will last longer than the cheaper sets. JA Henckels, Calphalon and Chicago Cutlery all make good sets in this price range, as does Anolon. When you look at people’s wish lists on Amazon, you’ll see sets from all 3 of these fine makers of cutlery showing up time and time again. If I had to pick one, I’d probably go with Analon, but that just comes down to personal preference.

As you can see, there are good options for those looking to get the best knife set

CAN I SHIP AN ITEM TO AN UNVERIFIED
ADDRESS OR ADDRESS OTHER THAN THAT IN THE PAYPAL SHIP TO ADDRESS?

 
Yes I can ship to an unverified address but please note that this address MUST
BE THE PAYPAL SHIP TO ADDRESS   

Please
note that all shipping addresses must be in the paypal ship to address

  
I cannot change the shipping address once it is provided through paypal.  I cannot change a shipping address even if it
is emailed to me through eBay because often items are already shipped out
before I receive the emails.  Also paypal
does not provide buyer or seller protection if an item is shipped to an address
other than the one in the paypal ship to address.

In
the event you send me an email requesting to ship to an address other than the   PAYPAL SHIP TO ADDRESS   we will
have to refund your money and we can agree to cancel the  transaction.  After that takes place you
can repurchase the item with the correct SHIP TO ADDRESS IN PAYPAL.

This
is done to prevent fraud and to protect the buyer and seller from losses.
Unfortunately there are bad apples that ruin it for everyone.

Can you please combine shipping on these

I’m sorry but I do not combine shipping on items at this time.

always email me to work things out prior to leaving feedback.  I pride myself

As a last note
··    Please note that I am human and at times will make a
mistake just like everyone else, but one thing I will make sure that is that
you are never without the item you purchased or your money. I try my hardest to
have the best price but at times other sellers will sell for a few cents or a
few bucks cheaper-but please note that if issues arise many sellers will tell
you tough luck, that is your problem. I am not one of those sellers, I will
work with you!

 99% of the time there are no issues but that
1% of the time it is important to have a seller who cares about their buyers,
not a seller who says tough luck. I promise you that you cannot go wrong
purchasing from me!

you for listening.

“Holy Shit!!! My landlord needs his rent, and I need to unload these cigars! Why else would I be selling a $450 box of cigars for $12.50!?! I must be friggin insane!!!!! The loss of my sanity is your wallet’s gain! You’d have to be a complete idiot not to take advantage of my mental handicap.

This deal is so good, even non smokers would be morons to pass it up!!”

Matter of fact, screw it… I’m selling this $600 box of cigars… did I say $450? I meant $600 box of cigars… for $9.99. With free shipping!! Truth is, I need to bail my daughter out of a Turkish prison. I need money NOW. My daughter’s plight is your gain!!

Omaha Steaks hires a similar copy writer, I believe

I recommend getting yourself a good quality chef’s knife, probably 8 inches long. (I think the 6″ are too short; the 10″ too long.) Go to a dedicated cutlery or cooking store and try it out – you want to get something that fits your hand and feels good. The fit and feel is more important than the brand, really, and don’t be afraid to mix and match. The more expensive brands will cost you $80 – $100 for a good chef’s knife, tho’ I’ve heard of cheaper ones that have gotten a number of recommendations from serious cooks, like Cooks Illustrated and such – maybe someone will pop in with a link. Myself, I prefer Wustof. I have some of their classic line. I use my chef’s knife for easily 90% of all my prep in the kitchen – it’s really worth the money to get a quality one.

A knife that’s often recommended as the next purchase is a paring knife, but I kind of disagree. I have one, but I rarely use it. (Probably because I don’t peel much of anything – the potatoes are unpeeled, the cukes unpeeled, and so on. Can’t remember the last time I peeled anything. And then when I do, I usually use a veggie peeler – never got the hang of peeling with a knife, really.)

After that, it varies. I’d get a nice breadknife and maybe a cleaver (ooh – or maybe a tomato knife. That’s probably the knife that does the other 10% of the cutting in my kitchen), but others might recommend a boning knife or steak knives or what have you. That said, if you can find a set or block that includes only 3 knives (like the chef’s, paring, and bread or some such), it might be worth it. Just don’t get a set that includes 10+ knives, as there’ll be a bunch in there that you probably won’t use. Start small.

One thing that is worth the purchase: kitchen shears. I bought the Wustof shears and use them constantly. And they weren’t expensive; maybe $10? I know they’re not of the same quality as my knives, but they’re shears – they’re meant to get beat up and be replaceable.

I’ve heard that knives should be resharpened every year. You can buy sharpeners for your knives that take any guesswork out of it and help maintain the edge, but it’s probably worth getting them professionally sharpened every 2-3 years or so. (That said, I haven’t gotten mine resharpened, and it’s going on probably 5 years now. I need to do that, obviously.) Using the steel will help maintain the edge as well, but I have to admit that I’m not so great at that either.

Other than a tomato or bread knife, stay away from serrated edges. Serrated knives are difficult, if not impossible, for home chefs to resharpen – you end up just grinding down the serrations. They’re great for tomatos and bread, but regular old knives will work for everything else. And your tomato and bread knife are probably best served by being professionally resharpened.

The above comments confirm that not many wealthy (and therefore, most likely, older individuals) don’t visit sites such as Woot (yes, obvious statement is obvious). Myself, I’m just a college student, but my parents are well off. When you’re in the highest tier of the tax bracket, you can buy stuff like 145 dollar towels, 15k telescopes, and 2.6 million dollar homes. So a set of Shun Ken knives for $1900 from Williams-Sonoma makes perfect sense. Now, for the rest of us, the money can be used much more effectively elsewhere, like rent, or groceries, but for those who have huge disposable incomes, the question boils down to: Why Not?

This is made possible by the hands off approach to otherwise manual activities that we are used to, specifically the activity of opening cans and knife sharpening. Both of these activities are now easily performed with the touch of a button and no longer require as much physical activity on your part. Just imagine what you can do with a few extra minutes every time you have to prepare a meal for you and your family. The time saving opportunity provided by this great appliance is immeasurable.

How is this possible? The electric can opener is motorized and has the ability to hold the can in place while removing the lid in one continuous movement with minimal assistance required from you. All you have to do is mount the can to the electric can opener and turn it on and it does the rest for you. You’re free to take on other tasks while the lid is being removed from the can.

Not only can this great appliance help you save time opening cans, it can also be used as a fully functional knife sharpener which can help save you time as well. Many electric can opener models are now coming equipped with this additional functionality.

If you’re looking to save yourself a little time and labor while in the kitchen, and don’t want to spend a ton of money doing so, then you’ll be happy to know that the electric can opener is one cost effective appliance that can help you do just that.
