The wife has mentioned she wants some new knives - so just picked these for her for Christmas - cheers!

If they are no good...I'll hunt you down and struggle to stab you... wink
And if they are good I get to drive your F40?!!

If you like Globals then for the same money this would be better value

I really couldn't justify a Global speed peeler when its functionally the same as a 99p one!
Tough decision now, the 3pc set originally mentioned totals £196.00, deal price £99.00. The set you posted totals £175.00, currently £150.00, chefs knife is fluted which I'm guessing is better?
As you say, is it worth £25 for a peeler? Is it worth £100 on knives that ultimately do the same as our Anolon set?
Another £50, already bought a Minosharp Plus for nearly £45, I'll be in for nearly £200 FFS!

The best and easiest to use sharpener is mino sharp 3. Designed for globals.
Got the 3 Plus SH550, £40ish, had an Anolon one for years but the wheels are worn out & probably wrong for Globals anyway.

Well, that Minosharp is a great bit of kit! Brought all but the worst of our 7 existing knives up to razor sharpness, I'm sure the last one will sharpen with a few more goes.

Expensive but from 1st impressions, very much worth it. Don't remember my very similar Anolon sharpener being this good.
Anybody want to buy an Anolon steel, or an AnySharp or...!
