Very nice. I don't need a whole set, but I keep coming back to these guys to fill the holes in my knife collection.

It is either those or more JA Henkles Pro. Both are about the same price.

I've got two of them and really like them, but my wife made the knife decision for me on Christmas when she gave me this:
Beautiful 8" carving knife. Only other knife we were really looking for was a good quality boning knife, so we burned up a gift card to Williams-Sanoma and ordered this.
It should be here in a week or so.
It will be nice to retire the less expensive knives out to the RV and have these for home use.
This Instructable covers how to make the wooden container for this knife block, but this would be even simpler if you could find an existing box the height of bamboo skewers (and I’ve seen these made with dry spaghetti). The wood box and a couple of packages of skewers, and you have your universal knife holder.

Nice! Love the wood. What brand are those?paulky_2000 said:My Damascus sweethearts:
Im still using Wiltshire Staysharp knives I got from the 70's, the three pack that you screw to the wall lol.
Looking for a good "starter" set and was looking at these. The knives I'm using now are dollar store specials and looking to upgrade. Any thoughts?

Buy the SmokenFire offset mentioned earlier in the thread - it's a great initial purchase ...

Forget sets. They always look awesome but when you pay the money and get them home, you end up only using three of them.
I would suggest spending as much as you can afford on one good chef's knife. About an eight incher.
Then get a Pearing knife, Serated Bread knife (or meat slicer) and a Fillet knife.
Build your own set based on your needs/wants but you gotta start with a Chef's Knife. A good one.

Damn I was about to order Smokenfire's knife but now I'm not sure. Started thinking about that off-set design and think it will suit my bad wrist.
It's always a risk buying online but for $60 and it's supporting a small business, think it might be worth it.Scoville DeVille said:
