For a $200ish for the Calphalon block set I cant complain. Bougt about 5 sets so far for friends and family and these knives just work well. Sure, I could have spent more but these do the job just fine.
Holy CRAP that's a lot a cheddar for a bread knife.
How much is the cheese knife?
Goto le dollar store.
Buy a knife for a dollar.
Use it until it isn't sharp.
Throw away, or give to someone you don't like.
Repeat.
That's 145 dollar store knives.
I'm not certain (at my current age) if that might not be a better deal.
I'd have to start mailing the used knives to people on interweb forums to get rid of them.
I don't know that many 3D people.

Absolutely true. This would be buying it just because I like it.Holy CRAP that's a lot a cheddar for a bread knife.

But my pocket knife (Benchmade) is $100. Some people like iPads, I like quality knives - they last longer. :bigok:
I've come to the conclusion it's better to buy a $200 chef knife (or santoku) and a $25 paring knife (like all knives, the money spent is on the steel and that shows up in how well it keeps an edge). After that everything else is what you want - like that bread knife. It's just pretty...
Kind of like pot/pan sets. Buy a good 10" or 12" skillet and a couple of pots, then go from there.
Lessons I learned after my divorce (although the Shun was the first think I took when I left - didn't even ask the ex).
