Question I Didn't Need To See This!

I've been wanting a set of these knives for a while and I got this email this morning about this sale. Now, comes the million dollar question... should I or shouldn't I?

Oh, and they are temp. out of stock and you're not billed until they are shipped... which would put it off a wee bit longer. But, I would have my name in the pot for when they do get the shipment.

Bad, bad email!

I have never regretted spending the money I did for the Cordon Blue Wusthof knives I have four spent more than that, and if you are like I am you will go later on and one think I wish I had bought those knives, or pay alot more and get them anyways.

I looked at this set a couple years ago at my local kitchen shop and they were a little over $800.00 then. I normally don't buy kitchen stuff just because it's got some FN person's name on it, but this case is different. AB doesn't endorse something just for the $$, it's because he believes in the product and exactly uses it. Plus, I've not found a bad review about Shun knives.

I agree with Ibcheft, if you really want them, you will kick yourself for not buying them.

Do you have a set of knives that you love? I have a set of Wusthof and I enjoy them so much, a great set of knives is a great thing to have.

I have this set, it was a gift from my sister. It is way more than I would have bought, but I enjoy it anyway!

I think I will by them as a gift for my sister or maybe mom. They are both better at cooking than me and would probably appreciate them more.
