Good knives aren't cheap, my lovely pickle...

not something to buy over the internet

You have to handle them, to see if they feel right

(

Duke Otterby you pre-verts, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:45, archived)

Sure they are,

just piss off a chef and get them to stab you. Do it enough and you'll have a full set in no time.

OK - You got me there.

Max my BUPA billing out for the year, though....

No, no they're not

I know this as I've been buying Sabatier one by one on what measly amount I can scrape from my less than 17 grand per annum.

Ooh, I have those!

I am incredibly lucky to have aquired a pretty large/useable set. See also 'le crueset'. I'm a very lucky girl, and the Prof is very lucky to be dating me ;)

I haven't acquired anything, save a pan from my ex land lord

that was his grandma's. I've finally found a split prong metal masher though, after a good 7 years of searching.

*checks*

Approximately 820 Euros, 550 UK pounds.

I'm not buying it

It's a nice set, but it's bit pricey.

have you looked at Wusthof? Or Henckel professional?

(

J Peasemould Gruntfuttock Alpha Mike Foxtrot, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:43, archived)

I already own that set

I just want to make sure I'm not giving tat to my best friend

(

Jessie © needs pirate name suggestions, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:46, archived)

Oh, it's not tat - by no means.

Just not a good price for the set.

(

J Peasemould Gruntfuttock Alpha Mike Foxtrot, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:47, archived)

Well I paid £30 for the lot

and it all seems pretty genuine, so I'm a happy nijntje

(

Jessie © needs pirate name suggestions, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:49, archived)

£30?

Can you get another one?

*gets out wallet*

(

J Peasemould Gruntfuttock Alpha Mike Foxtrot, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:51, archived)

I certainly can

There's a great 'cook shop' just opened in our shopping centre, they've got some crazy offers on to try and get known and selling stuff before the rent catches up like it did to their predecessor ;)

If you really want one I'll go back tomorrow and aquire it.

I'll paypal you the mullah - call you later.

*mwah*

You total star!

Most high priced knife sets

have been counterfeited and are the sort that appear on markets in briefcases.
Usually you can tell they are fake by the fact that the name and blade type is on each blade as with the original but they are a transfer that easily scratches off.

Sound pretty fake to me though...

(

mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 17:19, archived)

Nah, they're not

They're from a Dutch (company) cook shop, not a market, they have access to the stock and would lose their tenancy in a pretty exclusive area if they sold anything less than genuine.

(

Jessie © needs pirate name suggestions, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 17:33, archived)

Okay

Then I'd go for it before they start selling them at the regular price ;)

fooking hell

I can get just as good down the road in Marlow

They come in a little Dexter style case :D

(

Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:44, archived)

A nice little man bag :)

(

Duke Otterby you pre-verts, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:46, archived)

what do you need them for?

you'd probably only ever use about three of them unless you were a sushi chef
EDIT: /qualified chef

You never know which knife you will need, when you go to stab someone

(

Duke Otterby you pre-verts, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:48, archived)

the meat fork

then or possibly the small fish knife, the others aren't pointy enough, they're more for slashing

(

twig Save 6 Music, Wed 22 Apr 2009, 16:50, archived)

Looks pretty good

although for that price, I'd be happy to buy a couple of cheaper sets, use them till they go blunt, and get another one in ;)

I have a chef friend

who has owned restaurants for 20 years including 10 years on the Strand in London and he put me on to Sabatier knives about 15 years ago.
More than capable for the professional or home use and not ridiculously overpriced.

I'd be more inclined to suggest these for home use. Paying £500 for a set of knives is something not even most professionals will bother with.
