6 please.
Thanks for the heads-up , Mike. Though I have no “need”, I will head over to the local store.
Just curious…anyone…the 7.5 “hallow”…is really a good carving knife, as the WS website suggests…I could use something good for that area…as I never have found a great option
Well, no one responded to my query, so I took a trip to the local store and bought the 7.5" “double hollow” santoku. It seems pretty amazing so far; scary in some ways, like using a giant razor blade.
Have to figure whether it’s a good carving knife…or whether I “need” another one, like: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/6924328/?catalogId=56&bnrid=3180501&cm_ven=Shopping&cm_cat=Froogle&cm_pla=default&cm_ite=default" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have this one for carving and love it. I did not buy the set, just the blade separately. Great for carving anything and everything.

I’m either going to pick up the Shun Classic carving set or maybe step away from Shun altogether and pick up a Sujihiki style knife from JCK.
I don’t follow these things all that closely but I can recall having seen that 6" Classic Chef’s for $49 many times in the past, I’m sure the deal will be around again.
I noticed Sur La Table has an $80 7" Miyabi Hollow Edge Santoku when I was there earlier (western handle not a D handle). Miyabi is a Henckels brand, no? Thoughts on those knives? I thought the birch handled Miyabis were aesthetically great and I liked the small D grip.

The Shun Classic line (and sometimes the Ken Onion) pop up every now and then on sale at all the major stores, and even on woot.com.
and now it’s a prop!
Messing around with my new Shun knife (6" chef’s)

apple?
Please keep in mind: These knives are dangerously sharp.
Ouch!
How did you get Mel’s follow-up picture so quickly, Mike?

I’m good.
more knife p0rn
and I still have all my fingers and toes…
Our local Williams Sonoma still has some of the knives on sale.
And today they had a really great deal on either the 12 or 14 cup Cuisinart Die Cast - we got the 12 cup for $149 and they gave us a $30 gift card for future purchase. Now through next week they are giving a $10 gift card/credit for future purchases for every $50 spent.
The Cuisinarts are very good prices for today.
