Comments on: Evolution of a Knife Collection http://thecookskitchen.net/2006/11/10/evolution-of-a-knife-collection/ What you need, what to buy and where to buy it.

I love my Shuns! I really want that offset breadknife, and I'm hinting about the Ken Onion utility knife for Santa to bring me. I've cut myself in my past, but haven't with my Shuns, fortunately. I also agree on only getting the knives you need, not just a set (unless you save money by doing so) Danielle, I’m SO glad to see another Shun fan… I love my Shuns!
