Now, I must say I’m not rich in money in any way, shape or form. So I’ve made do with some shifty kitchen equipment for the longest time. I’ve had my two favorite knives, a Chinese Cleaver that I got as a present and a Santoku-style cheap imitation that I received by ordering a magazine or something. I really would like to buy a few decent kitchen knives, but I can’t afford paying 50 bucks a knife for 4-5 knives that I want. But I really needed something new.
