I have a funny story to share with you guys about some knives that we got at the Chefs Hat. A couple of weeks ago we were buying homey stuff for our place and I wanted to get a set of knives but being particular about my knives I wanted to get some reasonably good ones. However, since we were buying so many other things I was reluctant to spend the necessary $200 (10.000kr) on a single knife. Suzy then found this set of cheap knives at $50 for a whole set and I consented it made more sense to get something like that. I looked at the brand and to my surprise it was actually a quality brand called Victorinox so I was confident that even though they looked cheap these would be good knives. We then went home and started cooking for the dinner party we had planned for that night. As Suzy was cutting some vegetables it became apparent that the knives were unnaturally sharp. She cut her self and telling her to be more careful I took over the cutting. I was cutting some carrots and using my fingernail to guide the knife, as you do. That knife however was not like most knives though and instead of being guided by my nail it simply sliced a part of my nail off! I instantly started treating those knives with more respect and have handled them much more carefully since but none the less I have managed to cut my self three times since then. Now we treat those knives with more care than we have ever treated any knives before and I highly recommend the Victorinox knives, provided you treat them with sufficient respect.
