It is worth the little extra to buy a good quality knife that feels good in your hand. Our <a href="http://www.elizabethandrews.com.au/" rel="nofollow">catering business in Melbourne</a> uses a similar knife buy a cheaper, I wouldn't use it at hope though.

I don't have any experience using Forschner knives, but they look like a decent value for a low price. The only concern I have is that it doesn't look like the steel of the knife extends into the handle (I'm just going by the pictures and quick descriptions I read), so you'd risk damaging or even breaking one if you were doing a heavy duty task like deboning a leg of lamb, for example. Just my 2 cents! Thanks for stopping by. -Drew Thanks Rosie!

I have used Henckels' knives before, but what do you think about Forschner knives? I really like those too. I will have to check out Shun. Thanks for this helpful post, and those tips about knives NOT to buy are great! I agree that having a few realllly good knives is imperative!
