Clowance

sadly, may be clearing old stock in some branches only.

By the way, has anyone ever seen any H & B or So Beautiful leaflets in Poole or Bournemouth area - have found them only twice in over a year in Fleetsbridge only. Yet someone from Poole is selling loads on ebay (I suspect staff); and a sour member of staff denied all knowledge when I asked innocently if they ever had any in the other day. I was driven to pay nearly £8 for 500 points of the new ones recently as desperate to book a holiday by the end of the next quarter.

They seem quite good so far. Very sharp! They had several in Norwich yesterday. Also see them on page 6 of their Half Price or Less Sale leaflet (Jan 08) - ref: 203-3455. This is currently out of stock but there is a link to get an email when (if?) they get more.

My o/h is a trained chef and swears by his sabatier's, hes had his set for a good 5years and kept well sharpened they are very good knives.

I must add though he paid prices ranging from £5 to £30 as he bought them seperatly years ago, this price is an absolute bargain imo

Yes sabatier are very good, we have some at home and they are very good, the price by tesco seem very very cheap

Tesco Ballymena £14. They feel pretty light.....?
Also noticed they were made in China whereas Sabatier's site talks about them being made in France?

I think there are Sabatier 'style' knives available. The name seems to be used on any knife where the handle is riveted through a full-length blade.

Quite a bit on the Internet about this, seems they may not be genuine Sebatier (as made in China) but they are still good value at £20 IMO. Look at what they charge in Tesco for individual knives and you'll see what I mean. I've edited the lead post.
