Shun knives

peppered

I've decided to treat myself to a set of top class knives and had settled on Shun but am struggling to find them anywhere. I found this site here in America which will ship them to England for a not unreasonable $18.

Does anyone know where to buy these knives at a good price?

Thanks

Is it me ?


I thought this was a money-saving site.

Spending £300+ on a set of knives seems extravagant to say the least.


It's probably me.

LOL Exactly why any help saving some money would be greatly appreciated !!!!

I fully expect to still be using these knives in 15-20 years so seems a little bit better value then. :-)

Peppered,

I'd be really grateful if you would reduce the font in your signature. It would make it much easier to read what you write in your posts.

It may be a money saving site, However you should never forget that we shouldn't skrimp on quality in our search for a bargain. I had a set of prestige kitchen knives they were ok for everyday use, But for anybody who enjoys cooking, working with quality knives makes the job a lot easier. and quality lasts (most of the time) !!!!!!!

I presume that if I wanted a BMW you would advise that I should purchase a Ford?
