Re: Kitchen knives
Unless you really know what you are buying stay well clear of the Sabatier title it is not a brand name and has been subject to many years of misuse and abuse. Buy from a reputable kitchen supply shop for the alloy steels used in knife manufacture move on quite quickly and newer and better combinations come to the fore so the reputable supplier can better meet your requirements and price range.

Re: Kitchen knives
I have a drawer full of useless knives, I finally found some Victorinox made by the swiss army knife people so I'm told. I have three smallish ones, good for chopping veg cheese and small thing, I'll be getting some more serious ones at some point this year for meat carving. I found them on Amazon.

Re: Kitchen knives
I have some Victorinox knives and 1 Sabatier. I got them back in 1983 when I was studying catering and hotel management at Manchester Poly and it's what the chefs there recommended. I've still got them today and they are still going strong. I shall invest in a few more new knives when we return to the UK. Not paying silly NZ prices!
Sparkleydiva, did you not have any problems carrying them in your suitcase?
