Yeah, I know what you're thinking. However, my mother handed me a Princess House magazine and said I had $350 to buy anything I wanted because she earned the money hosting a party. Anyway, she decided to buy the better quality Williams Sonoma cookware. I picked out there 8" chefs knife and the 6" utility along with a bamboo cutting board. Do these knives suck? They were free so I'm sure I will be happy when they get here.
