If you can hold off for a few months there is a good chance W&S will have a friends and family discount christmas deal this year and you could save a lot, its pure speculation but last year there were a ton of huge discounts around the holidays with the big names like them, or find out if you know anyone who works at Pottery Barn or W&S(they are owned by the same people) and you can save a bit through them.

 

I'm not too sure if I can hold off. The Chef knife I have is in bad shape. Still really sharp, just that the handle is really messed up and the edge of the blade is bent a bit. And that't the one I use the most.

I can still use the steak knives. But maybe I'll get the set I need for now and around Christmas I'll look at getting new steak knives and anything more I need.

 

Oh man... I was playing with the new Ken Onion Chef's Knife by KAI/Shun today...

 

i have those as seen on tv miracle blade knives, i've used them for 2 years and they are still pretty sharp...

 

Had to make a trip over to Costco today and came across these....

They any good?

 

I bought a set from costco a year or 2 ago.
They are average IMO.
But they are not too expensive either.
I will say you go for it.

 

Cool. I think that set is about $20 cheaper at the Costco I went to today.

 

Did anyone used these knives? are they worth buying?

I don't know. If you're looking for cheap, someone told me get Chicago Cutlery. I looked at some of them and they seemed decent.

 

I just replaced my old knifes with Global. Great knifes, well balanced, light weight and they hold great edge. I've used both Henckels and Wusthofs either match the comfort of the Globals. Not only do they perform well but they are a nice enough looking knifes to place on a global magnet just above the counter...these knifes don't deserve to be in a droor.

Ended up getting these. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a decent set without spending a ton of cash. I ended up getting them 20% less with the coupon although the coupons usually excluded Henckel knives.

They are very sharp, well balanced and easy to take care off. The only complaint I have is that the stamped steak knives doesn't do the rest of the set justice. I'll be upgrading those in a couple months.

Thanks for all the input guys.
