Ok Food cunds, I want to buy some decent knives for the kitchen.

[Pat Vegas]

What can I get for a reasonable price?
For example I am not spending over 100 quid ideally half.

I'm sure Sir C will back this up.

Start with the two or three most important ones, a six inch chefs knife and an 8 inch chefs knife, maybe a utility/paring knife. Buy the best knife you can afford and keep it sharp. I have a 10 inch carbon steel chefs knife that I have had for over 30 years, and nothing takes an edge like that one, but it does require some special care so it doesn't rust. Try to shop at a store so you can feel the knife in your hand since the handle styles will suit different size/shapes of hands, and you can feel the balance of the knives, then you can feel better about buying online. But stay away from "sets" at that price point. I worked for Williams-Sonoma for several years, and this was how we were taught to advise those shopping for knives.

I even suggested at work we could go somewhere a little bit less lively for our Christmas evening out.

I got 300 pound worth of Global knives for 150

and we use all the knives regularly. Then it's a case of picking up the odd extra knife here and there to add to the collection, imo
