A set of knives that won’t break the bank – Pure Komachi 2 knives – a set I use everyday in my kitchen.<\/p>\n

So the other day, I walked into Costco with hubby dear. One of my hobbies is buying new things:), unfortunately I can’t buy as much and as often as I want. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It is amusing to see how we step into Costco.. I walk in very happy, eager to buy.<\/p>\n

Hubby walks in apprehensively, with a frown wondering how much more is going to be spent.. we usually settle somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n

Now I had my eye on these beautiful set of knives displayed right at the entrance-because they were all so brightly coloured, a lovely addition to dull London weather.<\/p>\n

But I had somehow, managed to restrain.<\/p>\n

That day, I was with hubby dear, who picked them up himself. I tell you the knives are so attractive, it takes a braveheart to walk past them.<\/p>\n

Have I mentioned I have a fetish for knives? Always have. I’m forever looking for newer and better knives. And this beautiful set came at a very attractive price too.<\/p>\n

So what happens? The decision is made.. of course all in the head!<\/p>\n

Product beautiful, wife loves it, price won’t break the bank either.. matter closed..<\/p>\n

So the knives came home and were put to the test.<\/p>\n

Oh what can I say about them?<\/p>\n

They are beautiful. \u00a0Apart from the obvious, I think these are a pretty decent set of knives.<\/p>\n

I know that these are not the most snooty pair of knives around, but hey, they serve my purpose.<\/p>\n

They are not heavy but not light either. They are perfect in weight, do not put pressure on the wrist like some cheap light knives and they deliver every time.<\/p>\n

Chopping onions and potatoes is a breeze, but the real test is when you try to cut bread or butternut squash. Both being at the opposite ends of the spectrum, need knives that really do the job.<\/p>\n

The bread needs a very sharp but properly designed knife, whereas the tough thick butternut squash needs something heavy.<\/p>\n

So they were tested on every possible thing. The knives just glide through effortlessly and me- I’m so happy.<\/p>\n

There is nothing more gratifying than when the knives you buy do as they are expected.<\/p>\n

I’m seriously impressed by the quality. What also helps is that the knives come with their own sheath. So no accidental cuts either.<\/p>\n

What more could you possibly want in knives?<\/p>\n

\"20131229-P1070242\"<\/p>\n

– They are really light and very sharp. I love the light weight because it doesnt hurt my wrist.. but they are made so well that I don’t have to exert extra pressure either. They stay sharp and are as good as new since the last 6 months. And I use them a lot, every single day.<\/p>\n

– They are colourful and that livens up many a dull London day. But also the colour identifies them for use- bread, meat, onions, fruit.. and so on.<\/p>\n

– And of course, they don’t cost the earth.<\/p>\n

So if you don’t want to break the bank, but want to treat yourself with a good pair of knives, here your chance. I am certainly very happy with my purchase; it was money well spent.<\/p>\n

These knives retail at around \u00a330 \u00a0and can be bought here<\/a>..<\/p>\n
