I have the set from culinary school.. Wusthof (sp?). I actually do have a sharpening stone... and have used it during culinary. But for some reason, when I tried doing it now, I couldn't get a good edge. Plus, we had a lot of dull knives lying around... so we finally just took them to a knife sharpening place. We had 10 knives sharpened!

Hehe... I'm all for the cheap stuff, as long as they work great! We still use those -- what are they called? Ginza knives? -- as they're great for slicing bread and tomatoes.

Oooh, I have knife envy now. I have two $2.39 Kiw...

I have two $2.39 Kiwi knives and they work pretty great. Lightweight and sharp.

TS, for some odd reason, I thought you would have a set of pro knife kit or something on those lines...

Although personally I would love to have a high-end set of knifes, until I get hitched, I see no reason to incur that expense, as I don't cook as much as I wish and my current set of low-mid end Henckels is doing fine. I should get a sharpening stone, though. Of course, given that you girls cook at home a lot, I think it is a worthy investment. Which brings the question... How much???
