We've got Xmas being delivered on December 16, so we can add some more to the order if we like it. I'm still tempted by the ox cheek in port and balsamic vinegar...

I've had a Kitchen Devil 8" knife for more than a decade.  After the first couple of years it began to cut poorly, no matter how I sharpened it.  Then I introduced it to my Tormek and now it cuts as well as my Sabatiers :) .

The Sabatiers are getting worn now and will soon need replacing.  I'll probably go for Global next, or Victorinox.

I have an order booked for Dec 12th, but will probably add to it.  I didn't want to leave it till the last minute, in case they went out of stock of some items, especially as I've ordered some of the Butcher's Specials, which are as of now.

I've always liked Sabatiers, for some reason.  I think I'd go for those, if I was going to buy a set.

I think Global have a better reputation nowadays.  Sabatier used to be the best but they were made by a family firm which had a bust up and went two separate ways.  Both now produce Sabatier knives but neither produce the sort of quality they once did.

That seems to happen such a lot, doesn't it?  Shame.

I'd certainly recommend Global, Gill, cheap they ain't, but they are superb tools. If you're ever near here (Milton Keynes), feel free to drop in and try them yourself.

Same here, we 'laid down' the essentials now, then we'll look at freezer space a week or so before and see what we can add.

A good site for Global is:

you can spend a fortune there though.

I wonder if they do any age checks before selling?
