Shun by Kershaw

I found the knife set that I want to get.

I was browsing altonbrown.com and on the front page is a link to Kershaw knives, specifically, the Shun line.

I've been looking to get a knife set for awhile, but couldn't decide on which ones to get. After reading about these knives, I've decided that these are the knives for me.

Alton Brown is one of those people I trust. If he says a product is good, I'm there. The fact that he goes through the reasons why it's good is just a bonus.

So here's how it's looking.

The Alton Brown set, which consists of a 3.5" paring knife, an 8" chef's knife, and 9" serrated bread knife will set me back $219.

The 7.75" cleaver will set me back $168. And the whetstone will set me back $40.

That's a grand total of $427 for the basic set.

Then 6 5" steak knives is 6*$68 = $408 will bring the grand total to $835.

Sigh.
