Redi Edge Original Knife Sharpener
A friend of mine has one of these, and he and I get together now and then to sharpen knives: hunting and pocket knives as well as my kitchen knives. This gadget is unlike any other I have used. One stage sharpening--all at a perfectly consistent 20° angle--gives the best edge I have obtained from a sharpener. For my kitchen knives, just quick uses of a sharpening steel (with knives at 20 degrees) keeps them sharp for a good six weeks at a time. (I use them two or three times a day.) A good test of an appropriately sharp edge is paper-cutting, and blades sharpened with this tool cut through a paper bag with no effort. After sharpening with this tool, a bit of time with a wet stone hones points and edges enough to shave arm-hair.I have used Chef's Choice with good results, but this little sharpener gives a keen edge with less effort. Since yesterday's sharpening session, I have ordered one of these for myself. Amazon's prices are about the best I have found, and these Klawhorn sharpeners are available from good hunting and sporting supply sites, too. It dumbfounds me that these sharpeners aren't more common in kitchen-gadget stores or sites.

Bought this sharpener for Hubby as a Christmas stocking stuffer. I was at Gander Mtn last week though and bought another one, same brand, with sheath, even same color... for $9.95. And it wasn't on clearance... Grrr!Read Best Reviews of Redi Edge Original Knife Sharpener Here
This will put a sharp edge on your blade right now.But, there is a catch.
The cutters are carbide. So they sharpen by removing metal, as in scraping it off.
In fact, you will see the metal bits on the back side of the cutters. The first time I used mine I was a little surprised by how much came off. I would suggest using an old kitchen knife to practice with before using it on your best blade. Press down a little to take off just a bit, press hard and watch the metal fly.
If you want an excellent edge and you want it right now, use this product. If you are into knives, you will also want a Lansky sharpener for those fine edged blades.

Who would think a steel rod is worth this much? All it does is make our Henckels sharper than anything we have used before. I can't see how they could be sharper, so it is worth the priceSave 36% Off

OXO Good Grips Dough Blender with Blades
I do a lot of baking; a lot of different types of baking and therefore need good equipment that is not going to break my piggy bank. I have owned several dough blenders (still have them in the baking section of my kitchen) but found this Oxo brand to be the best of the litter. It fits my hand perfectly and for those of you who do a lot of work with these utensils know, this is very important. Nothing like a good hand cramp to set your day off just right. I suspect that this company has put in quite a lot of research as to the workings of the human hand and they pretty well have it nailed with this product.The blades of this one (five) are quite stout and do not bend and flex as most do. I hate flimsy utensils, so this one was a real pleasure when I started using it. As to the sturdiness, this one if far superior to the Wilton, Pampered Chief or Anco...there is just no comparison. Trust me, I have used them all.
There are some considerations though. As pointed out by one reviewer, this mixer is not compatible with smaller bowls. I use rather large and heavy mixing bowls so do not have that problem myself, but I can see were some might have. Secondly, cleaning by hand is a chore. I have found the best way to clean this thing up is to soak it for a bit and then simply throw it in the dishwasher. I usually like to hand wash all my equipment, but in this case I go for the washer. The other way I have used is the simple use of a longer bristled kitchen brush.
As an added tip, this is a good tool to make thin butter patties with and to slice eggs for salads..a very nice even cut.
If you do a large amount of "scratch" baking, then this one is going to make life a lot easier for you.

Good product for a basic pastry cutter.Blades are fairly stiff and distort very little with use.Grip is very comfortable for my small hands and grips well.Not large so if you do large batches you will get a workout.Why are blades always so not sharp on these cutters? All together a solid performing tool.Read Best Reviews of OXO Good Grips Dough Blender with Blades Here
This dough blender works really well with my all-butter crusts -where my wire blender will bend away from the cold butter, the blades on this one will cut right through. As someone who makes all of her pastry by hand still, I was glad to add this blender to my gadget drawer.Want OXO Good Grips Dough Blender with Blades Discount?
Great grip, very sturdy blades... I don't think this product could have been made any better! I actually bought it for mashing beans and other soft foods when I cook, and this product has worked perfectly every time. 5 stars!
Excellante Polyethylene Round Cutting Board
I had, for whatever reason, this idea that I "needed" an 18 inch cutting board and I wanted round and not wood since I abuse everything I have horribly. I never found one so I then ordered this unit in the 1 1/2 inch thickness. Sitting here now looking at it, it is more than big enough and the round size will get down in the sink much better than a large square or rectangle, the main reason I wanted a round board (well, pizza cutting and serving too maybe).I've split two other wooden boards, a bamboo and a hardwood. I can tell you now, any wood that is glued together can split if you don't care for it and sometimes even if you do. I will never again have to worry over that. The packaging states that this board is the correct hardness to not dull your knives as well. That statement remains to be tested but the size and heft are perfect for a solid cutting surface that won't slide around with a knife cut like some thin little wooden unit.

Stanley Roberts 13 Piece Cutlery Block
The block contains a nice mix of steak knives, scissors and utility knives. The handles are lightweight plastic, so the knives don't contribute much to the cutting action you'll get a good workout cutting up lots of fruits and veggies with these. The knives seem to stain and spot pretty easily, as do most cheap utensils. If you have deep pockets, you're probably looking at brand-name cutlery anyway, so you'll give these a pass. However, if you're looking for an inexpensive set of knives to "make do", these will do nicely.
Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 6-Inch Chef's Knife
This knife feels great in the hand and arrives very sharp.I am not sure what is the point of the layers of Damascene. The last half inch before the edge is presumably is where the action takes place and it is good, old-fashioned clear stainless. The Damascene pattern is certainly attractive.
Despite report you may have heard to the contrary, the edge of the blade is not straight like a Santoku knife. It curves, more-or-less the same amount as a Henckels chef knife. Having said that, I guess if you are a die-hard chopper you might prefer a big belly Wusthof.
The bolster is very unobtrusive, which I like. The handle is comfortable and tilts up a little, sort of like the Global knives but less extreme.
Did I already say this knife arrives very sharp. Right out of the box you can cut through the stem of a banana almost as if it was celery. Don't let your 8-year old use this knife for cutting frozen bagels ;)
All-in-all it is a really nice knife that I would use all the time if my wife had not taken such a posessive interest in it.
Buy Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 6-Inch Chef's Knife Now
Purchased one for $33 and love it. I've had the Calphalon essential set for about 3 years and have been happy with the balance and handling. I mainly use the 6" utility and the 3 1/2" pairing knife. However,I found the thickness of the blade on 7" chef knife to make it slightly dull for me on many task. The katana knife is in a entire different league from Calphalon's orginal set. It cuts with very little effort and has great balance.Read Best Reviews of Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 6-Inch Chef's Knife Here
Admittedly, I am a bit of a knife-buying nut. I love kitchen knives and own chef's knives and santuko knives from Wusthof, Henckels, Kyocera and Furi.This Calphalon Katana 6-inch chef's knife is incredibly sharp and it feels really good in the hand balance-wise. I like the way the handle is shaped, it is very comfortable and the bolster is ingenious. I love the way it looks too! For the price, I'd say you can't go wrong.
I really like it a lot! I have only had it for a few weeks though, but
it seems to be of very good quality and hopefully we'll see how well it resharpens when the need arises.
Want Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 6-Inch Chef's Knife Discount?
I have owned countless knifes that claimed to be "good". Needless to say, almost every knife I have owned has been a disgrace until now. The Calphalon 6" Chef (knife) is a superb all purpose knife with several notable features.First off, the Japanese steel construction is not only very attractive, but also extremely durable. The knife is relatively light and is embedded with a very comfortable, yet ergonomic handle. Note, the knife feels well balanced and non-strenuous in your hands, even under various vigorous chopping, cutting tasks.
I used the knife to cut several vegetables, raw meat, along with raw fish; so far the knife cuts through meat as if it was butter. I had exceptional control while gouging through my various products. You must be sure to wash and dry the knife immediately after use (only hand washing is permitted). Furthermore, this knife is relatively inexpensive; considering the other brands such as shun, this knife is a bargain. Lastly, this product is backed by Calphalon's lifetime warranty.
All in all an excellent product, and I would highly recommend it. The knife has exceptional sharpness, craftsmanship, and style, definitely worth the money.
French Laguiole 3-piece Cheese Knife Set Rosewood & Stainless in Wood Drawer Tray
I gave this as a gift. I wanted something similar to a set that I have. I could not find the one I have. This is very similar. The presentation box is not as nice. not sure if you can use it to store the knives. Knives are good and shapes are good for serving.
Spode Christmas Tree 45-Piece Flatware Set
I purchased this as a gift for my daughter I am not sure I should give it to her. It is laughable (except that I spent $118 for it!) The tines of the fork measure 2 1/2 inches from start of the tine to the end, and the soup spoon is 3"! HUGE!! This is a set for a GIANT! I suppose I will give it to her in that Christmas is only 13 days away, but I KNOW I will be returning it!

Gourmet Settings Symphony 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4
I lucked out and scored place settings for eight, and a serving set at a local discount store. This flatware screams quality! It has a balanced weighty feel and sensual curves that are a feast for the senses! I have had a set for eight for two months now and it is wearing beautifully. We put them in the dishwasher (sometimes I hand wash and they are so easy to clean!) , but I am careful not to leave them soaking in the sink for too long. We are hosting Easter (I am rather inexperienced at this hosting stuff!) and will have 8 guests so my loving Mother has ordered another set for us from Amazon! Now the table will look great, but I will need her to help me with the food! Great flatware! Thanks Mom!

Wusthof Grand Prix II 6-Inch Carving Knife
I adore this knife, tonite I effortlessly cut a watermelon up, even though it's a little short for that, it's so sharp, it just ran right through the rind! My plan is to obtain 2 or 3 more Wusthof Grand Prix knives. The craftmanship is obvious in the heavy and even feeling of the knife. Last Christmas I gave them as gifts, and everyone in my family commented on how they've become their favorites!

I have been a fan of Wusthof since i was introduced to them at the first restaurant i worked at. The heft and balance is perfect. The handel is study and feels well.. Just awesome cutlery tools.. only thing to note is that all wusthof knives (like any pro set) are really heavy so i dont recommend for anyone who has weak wrists or are scared of really really sharp knives.. This is a professionals knife which means you can slice your finger to the bone if you make a mistake.. but then, thats just another awesome selling point of these knives...Read Best Reviews of Wusthof Grand Prix II 6-Inch Carving Knife Here

I purchased a couple sets of these. The first time I used a spoon to eat pretty soft ice cream it broke right in half. Then I was putting butter on bread and one of the knifes broke right in half. I could not believe it!! Everyone was laughing, but I did not think it was too funny considering what I paid for them. Don't waste your money.....

YOSHIHIRO- Shiroko-Kasumi Yanagi Sashimi Chef Knife 11.7" 300mm -MADE IN JAPAN
Ordered this knife about 4 months ago as I wanted to get more into sushi making, and I needed a more traditional knife for fish slicing. As yanagiba's can range in price as much as a cheap used car ($3,000+), most would probably consider this a starter knife. The quality is fantastic. The blade is rock hard, beautifully finished, and straight as an arrow. It comes very securely packaged in it's own decorative box, with foam pads inside to secure it even more. The wooden sheath that comes with it fits like a glove, and is finished extremely well also. This comes direct from the company VERY SHARP. Especially at a 300mm length (the blade alone is nearly a foot long), you HAVE to be very careful when learning how to properly wield a knife like this. The first time I cut sashimi with it, I sliced my finger in a split second. Since then, I've had more practice with it so that doesn't happen anymore. Also since then, I've sharpened it on a #6000 grit japanese whetstone to a MIRROR finish, and now it's BEYOND razor sharp. That's the thing, it might not be the most expensive yanagi, but sharpened correctly, and this thing becomes scary sharp. It GLIDES through any type of fish, there's no pressure required. Just start the cut and pull the knife back. Overall, I'm very happy with it, and I hope it lasts many years in my care.Save 17% Off
