knives

Ladies I desperately need your help!
Being that many of my girl friends are not married yet... I have registered for a knives set.. J.A Henckles or w.e but one of my girls friends who is married registered for a wusthof... each knife was like close to a 100 bucks! and I cannot have my guests spend that much on one knife..
I registered for a 10 piece knife set from Henckles with the block for 189.00 sale price...
I just think it is easier with the block etc...
Ladies who registered, what do you think? My friend said that I need a really good chef knife and those are expensive... I mean 189.00 isnt cheap but its cheaper than 1 knife at almost 100 bucks...

I got a block knife set from wusthof... they actually came yesterday and i just opened the package a couple of hours ago! holy crrrrap they are amazing - i am not kidding - so worth the $. BUT you have to figure out what's right for you. I cannot stand when knives get rusty or dull. and i am obsessed with chopping things.

the set i registered for was on sale randomly for black friday or maybe it was cyber monday. they don't usually go on sale i don't think. in any event i used a 100 gift card and that covered it. i think the block set was reg. $299. it has 4 knives, a sharpener, kitchen scissors, and the block itself.

i also registered for the wusthof steak knife set and a couple of single knives - the way i look at it is - 1) i could always get gift cards and 2) i'll have a registry completion discount if no one gets them for me. some people feel weird about buying knives for a bridal shower. whatever.

anyway whew, HTH!!!!
