The Haul

The Haul:
I did a lot of research before investing in knives and want to thank everyone who responded to my post for inquires. Special thanks to ChefRob. He went out of his way to check out the contenders himself and offered great advice. I had been saving the last of a bonus I received and with the Amazon gift certificate (Thanks SMF and Jeff) I blew the wad. . LOL This is what I purchased and look forward to a good new year of smoking and such.











I plan on keeping my flea market set of knives as my beaters. They sharpen pretty well for cheap steel and I see no reason not to continue to use them.

"Don't cut yer finger off!" Err..put yer eye out or something.

Good steel. No dishwasher. Last long time :{)

[T-bone Tim]

Nice looking set of hardware congrats on yer purchase .

[Gunslinger]

Nice cutlery. If you hit a steel or ceramic every time you use them, you'll never lose the edge. That goes for cheap knives too.

[Texas-Hunter]

Great looking blades.. Dont know who ChefRob is.. ?? Glad he could help you out though..

And a Big HIGH 5 to Jeff for stepping up to the plate with the gift certificate.. Bout time....

[Fishawn]

[crusty ol salt]

i hope you enjoy them as much as i do mine....

[mulepackin]

Nice haul indeed.

[HawgHeaven]

Sweet! Good luck with them!

Having some serious Knife envy here. Love the way they crafted those handles. The seemless transition from blade to handle makes them much easier to keep clean. Just don't let anyone else touch them
Great score!

I have only entered one throwdown and that was the one. NO disrespect intended to this fine forum and especially Ken, but hey, give credit when credit is due.

I guess I should be lucky it wasnt here cause if I went there and gave the credit i would only be allowed in the island of misfit toys! LOL

Henckels are decent kit.
Now all you need is adecent knife block - I like these :-)

[ShooterRick]

The Henkels are in as is the knife roll bag. blade protectors arriving later. I am impressed with the feel of the Henkels and the Forschner Victorinox slicer is a possible replacement with my razor! The palm swell handles are very comfortable in my hand. I have rather large hands and was pleased with the handles on the Henkels.
