    They've only got a 5 year guarantee mate - how long are you planning on living? :confused:

    It depends how bad my cooking is! :rotfl:

    Yeah but for £30 or whatever, using them everyday for 5 years minimum! :think:

    I just find that shape really awkward to use.:cool:

    Yes, but I want to pay £60 to find that out. Not forgetting to personalise it so it can't be returned. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Ok, so £30 every 5 years for 60 years = £360. Buy the Sabatier - they're more economical in the long run! :p

    Well he has survived so far..and there were some right howlers there:D
    Sometimes it does pay to flash the cash....I bought a expensive bread knife recently and you do notice the difference.
    But I guess you should see how you go first.;)

    Don't fret. I am extremely good at not being able to justify the expense. ;)

    These are the knives I have. They are great. :D

    As for the wooden chopping board, I use it with meat on one side, bread and veg on the other side. Just don't forget which side is which and remember to disinfect and you need to oil the wooden board so they don't crack after washing.

    and damn you about the viners website....now I'm tempted to buy more things...

    I use one paring knife and one serrated edge knife.
    Total cost £1.65

    I'd be dangerous with anything larger.

    I did buy a £10 knife when I bought my breadmaker the other month. Never used a breadknife before... and to date haven't made one loaf that could be cut.
