Yeah I see what you're saying. I dunno. How often do you cook at home? Chop up veggies and stuff? I do it probably 4-5 times a week (I'm the cook in the house, my wife can't boil water) .
I dunno. I'm happy with the set I got. A few pearing knifes, filet knife, seraded knife, big knife, medium knife, and a big ass butcher knife, and a sharpener to go with it (yeah.. the SP sucks above.. I'm too tired to look up correct spelling). My parents gave it to us when we got married and it's been fine since.
