Hi Jack: I love cooking, as a hobby (and surprisingly, it's a chick magnet). I've always wanted a good set of knives but didn't know what to buy, so didn't. This summer I've signed up for a professional French chef class and we are required to own and bring a good set of four knives: Chef, Boning, Paring and Scalloped Slicer. They recommended several different makes and models, in different price ranges. mine came with a Knife carrying Case: 16 Slot, fake leather. My knives (S series Henkels): <http://usa.jahenckels.com/index.php?subcategory=5> 9 Chef Knife 6 Boning Knife 3.5 Paring Knife 10 Scalloped Slicer 10 Sharpening Steel vegetable peeler 7" Carving Fork We will spend three days on knives: 1) care, sharpening and then cutting vegetables. 2) cutting up and de-boning chickens. 3) cutting up fish. I've refrained from sharpening until the class, even though I'm a cabinetmaker and trained in sharpening chisels and plane blades, so know how to use a water stone. I've been using them for a few days, and what a joy they are to use. If you cook, get yourself a good set of knives; at least, spend $100 and get a good 9" chef's (french) knife. You'll have and use it for the rest of your life. /b __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
