I think I'm going to pick up a couple more. Probably a chef's knife and a slicer to start out with. I'm no snob when it comes to anything. I like what works well. I don't mind paying for quality, but I don't think the stuff I'm going to cut will give a damn how much the knife cost that did it. I've been making it work with the cheap white handled knives from Sams so I would guess these would be an upgrade.
