Sharp presents
Posted by Alli on December 28, 2007
What does it say about me that my family wants to give me knives for Christmas?
I got two knives- a chef’s knife and an electric carving knife. I never actually said I wanted these, but they are two things I have desired in the past, so it was a sweet treat to get them for Christmas.
My parents gave me and my sisters the chef’s knife (my middle sister actually requested one). It is a Victorinox, rated the top chef knife under $50 by America’s Test Kitchen. (Yes, Victorinox is the same company who makes Swiss Army knives.)
Damon gave me an electric carving set, something we have been needing for quite some time. We have few decent Henckels knives, but I know an electric knife would be better for things like bread and carving poultry. It always sneaks up on us when we would need/ want an electric knife. Now, we are prepared.
It just struck me as funny I will be taking home two knives given to me as gifts. I’m thrilled to add to my kitchen tools… next up, a bread machine!

My husband was a meat cutter when we were first married. He threw a fit, sort of, when I bought our son a cheap set of knives for his college apartment. LOL It is good to have quality knives. Enjoy!
