My Kitchen Beauties

Oh, I have been soooo negligent on this and I am truly ashamed. I received my beautiful Kershaw kitchen knives from Dennis at Kershaw Knives early last week and promptly opened them and just sat in awe. Following is the strip-tease....

 

 

 

Now that right there is some fine kitchen cutlery. I grew up the "clumsy" one; my family did whatever it took to keep sharp objects out of my hands. When I was allowed to help in the kitchen, I was given basically a butter knife. As a grown up, I perpetuated the myth by shying away from quality kitchen knives, thinking surely, if it's sharper than a plastic picnic knife, I'd open an artery. And the kitchen accidents STILL happened.

 

I have spent a week with these beauties, chopping, slicing, cutting, and still have all my fingertips. I didn't have a single accident because I wasn't FIGHTING THE FOOD. Having a nice, sharp blade that slices cleanly prevents the hacking and frustration of dealing with dull, inferior knives. I absolutely LOVE these things. I'm getting the steak knife set next. No more putting my foot on the meat and gnawing off pieces. I have now graduated to "grown-up" knives.

 

I'm sorry I don't have any action shots. I couldn't figure out how to set up the camera and use the knives without losing a digit. But trust me, Angel doesn't lie. These are beauties.
