This order arrived today and I cannot tell you how pleased I am! Both by your promptness and the quality of the knife [Wusthof Grand Prix II]]. This is the first time I've invested in a proper knife and it makes a HUGE difference. In fact, I've taken the plunge and ordered the matching Santoku knife. Having such superb tools makes cooking a pleasure, rather than a chore.
A perfectly balanced, beautifully crafted, hard-working masterpiece. I'd take small exception with Chef Nakano's "Not for novices" comment - *any* cook's best friend is a great knife, and this is truly a great knife.
And Paul, your service is exceptional. Thanks!
