I'm going to guess that these are clearly not in the same league as has already been posted on here, but what are anyone's thoughts on these knives from lidl?
Don't bother. This is a good cheap starter set:http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2...
Then get one good Japanese knife.
resurrecting an old thread!
Anyone ever tried/used these - obviously not the same quality as the nice Japanese ones on this thread, but still not too cheap. I think they look good too:

To be honest my personal preference is for a one piece or Japanese two piece, I find that knives with studded wooden handles tend to not last very long.
I've recently quit the Chef business and spent an absolute fortune on Shun Japanese knives just last year, to replace my Globals, it's like going from Ford to Ferrari, easily the best set of knives I've owned and stay sharp so much longer than the Globals, which to be fair had their share of abuse over the last 14 years!

I like Sushi - this will hopefully do the job.
If it is as nice as I hope it to be I might go back for its little brothers and sisters !
Over the last couple of years I have indeed gone back for the brothers and sisters !
Full set.
- those are just stunning. just checked and they're virtually all sold out in that range. I got a few of the cheaper 'misono' molybdenum range (and very nice they are too, but I always wanted to get some damascus (just a bit out of my price range
i am deeply envious of your collection
I think I'm in need of something a bit smaller. The 240mm Gyuto is outstanding and still performs beyond my expectations but sometimes I feel I could do with something a bit easier to handle (eg. to cut mushrooms and cherry tomatoes etc).
JCK have their own Aogami Super 150mm petty. Would that be a decent size? Too small / big?

I own one of those (amongst others) and find it a perfect compromise. It is my go to knife for anything needing precision.
Ordered! I also added a few of the wooden covers too and got free shipping.
