TSV 14th October- Technique II Knives

[Calvin]

I'm glad to see Technique II as a TSV again, http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/params.item.828468 and the price is fantastic. I bought http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/params.item.827038 earlier this year and it is the best knife I've used,far superior to my Sabatier set that cost well over £100.

Highly recommended.

I bought the same knife as you last year and I am going for the TSV as well - with hubby's approval:11:

 

[Satis]

Highly recommended.

Thank you Calvin. I opened this thread in trepidation in case I had made yet another mistake. I sent for the TSV after some agonising, but they really do look impressive and I need a professional knife set.

Although I do have quite a large selection of knives.

The bigger, the sharper, the pointier the better... Hahahahahahahah!

What would you use the one they call the bread knife for if you don't slice bread?

I think I saw Malcolm use the bread knife to slice meat. It would make a good job of hot or cold meat. My son was impressed with the kit and I think I'll buy him one as a housewarming present. He has just moved back in here after 5 months in Spain and he wants to strike out on his own again. This might encourage him! (Is there a 'bad mother' thread anywhere, lol?)

Thanks, you're right. I'm watching the demo now and he used it on turkey. I'm really pleased I went for it now.

Although, p.s. his nails are very dirty which is most offputting, and I notice he has a plaster on one of his fingers!

I've seen some knives which look very similar to these advertised in the Saturday papers sometimes but would you believe it.....they aren't in the one I got last last week as I was going to compare the price. You seem really impressed Calvin.

 

[BusyLizzie]

Just wondered if anyone else could recommend these as well as Calvin please before I decide whether to buy or not.....thanks in advance for your opinions.

P.S. Realised that I could have done with this TSV on Saturday so thought I could be well prepared for the next time.!!!!!!!!!!!

They get rave reviews on the website.

I think Snoopy was ultra-impressed with his BL. Is Mr BL still in the doghouse then?

What do you think? He's not fully out of it yet.....his tail is still in there!!! :54:

Thought I'd seen Snoopy's comments so perhaps I'll go for them. Thanks.

 

[Snoopy]

Yes i got the chef knife last time and it's the best knife i have ever had,got a Sabatier cleaver which is excellent but hardly gets touched now and was mega expensive.

 

[BusyLizzie]

Do you reckon the TSV combination is a good set then Snoops?

 

[Snoopy]

Yes i do BL if i needed more knives i would go for this without hesitation.

Thanks Snoops, appreciate your comments. I've just ordered them. :1:

In one of the shots where he is cutting cherry tomatoes his finger appears to be dripping blood which is encouraging and adds to the overall presentation of a sharp edge.

I will say though that when they use "other" knives I think he and Pipa get "C" for effort:1:

 

[shopcat]

I've been a bit on the fence about these but from the good reviews here I have gone for them - seem a really good price even with adding the silly p&p price.

It's easy to demonstrate the factory fresh sharpness of knives on TV just wanted to know what the weight/quality/durability was like.

 

[Jabbathehut]

These are indeed fantastic knives,and if, like Snoops I needed more knives I wouldnt hesitate. They are fantastically well priced too.

 

[sillysausage]

Thanks for the useful feedbacks folks, I've just got this as a treat for hubby...

I think these are the ones you're talking about. The p&p is something like £7.95.
