As an avid home cook, I know that the experience of home cooking can be massively helped or hindered by the knives you have to hand. I know they say a bad workman blames his tools, but if you have ever had to cook with a terrible knife, then you know the pain.
I seem to be on a never-ending hunt for the best kitchen knives, and have lost count of the many hundreds of pounds I have spent over the years buying new kitchen knife sets, always sure that this set would be the last and best. Of course, when you first buy knives, they're razor sharp and sure to impress. But it doesn't take long before their fresh-from-the-packet sharpness is dulled, and they become a little lacklustre.
