A few years ago I fancied a new set knives for Christmas. Gordon Ramsay happened to be on the telly, so I had a look at what he was using. Wusthof.
He wasn't promoting them, just using. So that's what I asked for. And they are indeed very good.

Yes I do agree having used my new Kuhn Rikon set on a tomato, so slick.

I agree a bit pricey. But then I've been through 4 woks and the combined price of them is just a bit more than the one I have now, but has lasted longer than the other 4. So I'm sure I'll be saving. Same with a roasting tin, I've thrown out at least half a dozen, but have now invested in a heavy stainless steel one at just over £100.
I buy things not because of the name/brand, but researching the quality and durability. You have to pay more than you think. Stick with Tefal etc and you'll be paying out more than I will be that's for sure.

Re: What have you just bought?
Yeah buy cheap buy twice. I paid Kuhn Rikon an extra £20 for the quality than a cheap set on Amazon. I just brought a metal washing tray/rack. It was double the price of a plastic tray from say Asda but it's metal with rubber feet and a cutlery box. Sometimes you've just got to bite your tongue.

I currently have the best drainer I have ever owned. Coated metal no sign of rust after months and months. Base tray that drains onto the sink 2 levels really good and cost me £6 as a first time buyer from TikTok Shop of all places

They do go off, so I just run them on the steel occasionally.
The Santoku gets more use than all the others put together. TBH I'd be happy with just that one.

I keep looking for real rabbit fur in case we get the Russian style winter but I think my daughter would never speak to me again.

I used to have one of those (swapped it with a Russian border guard for a carton of cigarettes at the Helmstedt–Marienborn border crossing) - lasted about 15 years before it became too decrepit to wear.

The exact model isn't listed. Mine has a clip rather than buttons.
