Thanks Sten.

That all looks wonderful and I love the knives as well.

It's interesting that in previous years we had many posts of Purists Christmas banquets, but it didn't happen this year. So to make amends, here are a couple of shots from ours.

But this will give you an idea ...

Hello sten! Happy holidays and HNY to you and J! Food looks absolutely delicious, didn't know that you were such a pro in the kitchen! How are the knives? Balance, slicing, cutting? -MW

I just wanted the knives because of the look. According to J, the knives are different than any she has used before. As for me, I just don't want her to cut herself.

I love a good kitchen knife

And I am very happy with Shun as well. Lovely blades. Thanks Andrew

The Shun knives are little (sharp) works of art!

By: dxboon : January 6th, 2011-08:51

I'm sure there are more of them in my future. I may also add a Kyotop Santoku soon. That would be my first ever ceramic knife. Cheers, Daos

Beautiful Christmas...

Reminds me of my Christmas. Congrats on the new Kramer knives. These Japanese Shun knives do perform quite well. Looks like you had a delicious Christmas.
