Quality Knives

OK.............. I fell into a deal last night. A buddy of mine is a food salesman(wasn't sure if anyone saw my past posts of the deals I get on fresh meat) Any way he is getting me a 10 piece set of Forschner today brand new for his cost $60.00 or $70.00 bucks. he also said if anyone else wanted a set just let me know. Thanks for all of the help and info.

What is included in the set?...got pics? I may be interested.:biggrin:

If it's 125.00 that is still a great price for that set of knifes.

No worries bro...thanks for the update! :razz:
 
If those knives in the forschner set are the same exact ones you can get on their own that's a fantastic price. Would you happen to know if the slicer has a granton edge? Those can get pretty pricey.
 
I picked this set up at our local business Costco yesterday for 14.00...it's pretty dang sharp! :p

Got alot of diffs, my fav is my CASE Stockman pocket knife.
(just dont use the toenail blade for meat)
 
I just got a Shun Chefs knife, its a sweetheart.
My favorite is a "nakiri", a flat vegetable knife. Got it in Kyoto from a store called Aritsugu. This place has been in the same family since the 1500's. Cool place, the knife is so soft, but the edge on it is hard to believe. Takes a lot of care, if I chop three tomatoes it will start to tarnish befor e you are done.
Look at this a video taken in the store. Each knife is prepped when you buy it and your name is stamped on it. The wheel they are using in the video is three hundred years old!

So true...so true. I learned from one of the masters...Paul Kirk. All his knives were bought used or second hand...they were just very sharp...and he knew how to use them. One of the highlights of his class was that he showed us how to slice each meat for presentation. The knives I use for my comps cost a grand total of 25.00 from Costco...but they WILL be sharp!
