I'll forgo a laundry list of my yearly haul, but I can't resist extolling my favorite gift. So quick background, I like to cook on occasion. I really don't know what I'm doing but hey often times it's quite good. In my amateur culinary endeavors, I have developed a deep loathing of cheap dull knives. This Christmas my wife gave me a Zwilling J.A. Henckels "Professional S" Chef's knife. When she bought it the sales person asked if she was going to culinary school. It's not just sharp, it's absurdly sharp, and will easily stay that way longer than any other knife I own. It makes me want to cook just for the excuse of cutting cutting up a big pile of vetables.
Sadly, it has become apparent that not everyone understands my excitement over a peice of bifurcating iceharded stainless steel. That's fine; if they're happy with their Ronco specials, that's their business , but in my house we apreciate fine cutlery.
