Now THAT is hard to believe!!! LOL

It's true though. He will use his Discover card to pay of other cards because he gets cash back on the discover card. Plus he goes to the "Dented goods" store and buys dented canned goods and crushed boxes and well damaged goods. Oh did I say he's a farmer. He farms about 1500 acres of ground and has a LOT of equipment.

Well it was a group effort, Patty and I. We looked and looked and looked and finally settled (Patty and I both like the Santoku blade shape) on a set of kitchen knives. This is the set we got, hope it is a good one.

And No that is not what we paid. We found a less expensive price. (I didn't want to say cheaper cause CERTAIN dogs would be all over it.)

Nice set of knives; now put them to use! Hmmmm.......less expensive...........what a surprise. LOL

Hope the knife set serves you well. Only going to say that if Jack Benny were still around, he would be asking you for advice.

Haha, at least youse guys were nice about it. Y'all DO got some class. Now hold my diet coke and watch this.

DOH LOL

Oh and I forgot to say ya gotta love that laser etched Damascus look. And I ordered a what I hope is a nice double sided strop as well. It comes with green and white rogue. We will see.

The reason for the knife quest is that as I said earlier, Patty broke the Santoku and was just devastated about it. No big deal though, I have had this set of Farberware knives since about '95 and I think I only paid about 50 or 60 bucks for them then. It was a 13(I think) piece set and that counted the steel, scissors and the block. Oh and One of the knives had already came apart, the "tang, if you could call it that", broke off up inside the handle. Yeah they were cheapies.

I hope that you get a lot of use out of them.;)

Well, Randy, since you are a knife guy you should know how to sharpen them. When I was trying to decide between a 8” or a 10” Santuko, I read a lot of reviews on Amazon and other places that were not knife forums. I was amazed at all the people that were upset the knives were not laser sharp out of the box. Or if they were, they were upset that they did not stay that way. The cheap sushi set I bought had a lot of good reviews but the majority of bad reviews were about the lack of sharpness out of the box. I set the bevel with a Shapton glass stone, then worked through a progression with my Japanese water stones and then stropped on Diamond pasted leather. The knife set works well. I just use the set for slicing soft proteins like fish so they stay sharp for quite a while.

It's still tough to beat a set of Ginsu knives! LOL

I also bought a leather strop on a wooden base and some green and white Rouge so HOPEFULLY I can keep them in good shape.
