    They are so sexy, my knees get weak.

    And I just stare in simple adoration and yearning.

    One day, ONE DAY I will own the whole Shun knife set, goddamnit. I will.... I'll just have to save for about a year.

    I'm on the market for a good cleaver. A nice cleaver. A cleaver that'll do its job and make me happy. But then I look at the sexy, curvy lines of folded steel along the blades of the Shuns and I fall in love. My pocket cries 'No, don't do it! It is expensive!' and my brain yells "Don't do it! You can get three good knives for the price of that cleaver!" but my heart yearns for the shun instead.

    I even contemplated in buying the Katana Nakiri (vegetable cleaver) because it'd be a) a nice cleaver, although mostly for veggies b) was folded steel c) a nice compromise to all I wanted. But the Katana has NOTHING on the Shun and ..


    I'm being such a shallow freak.

      Hell yeah..

      I was talking to the hubby and I told him that my dream kitchen would have a whole wall dedicated to my steel. I want to have those industrial magnets installed and I'll just have my knives there instead of a bamboo block. This would have a three fold purpose:

      *Keep my counters clutter free.
      *Display my sexy little demons
      *Strike fear into the heart of any suitor that comes knockin' on my door for my future child's affection. You wanna date Little Demise, go ahead.. just be aware that Momma Demise has knives, tons of knives, and she knows how to use each one skillfully so don't you DARE play Little Demise for an idiot.

          Seriously, my biological clock is ticking big time, but that happens when every other woman around me is baking y'know?

            I'm the same way with kitchen appliances too. Mom got mad at me because I didn't get the red Kitchen aide mixer for Christmas (she gave me the money for it) but it was on sale when I got there and it was the LAST one left. So I took it.

            I love my mixer too. Kitchen gadgets are just the best thing ever.

              Mine too. Kicked in when I turned 23. And I don't even have a boyfriend!

              Oh, how in love am I with my Kitchenaid mixer! Best $90 I ever spent!

                I'm glad I'm not the only one who is in love with appliances and kitchen tools and other random house fixtures. When we moved I got my most awesome of awesome fridges. freezer bottom mount with french doors, I drool every time I walk by.
                I can't wait til I own a home, I'll be getting custom counters that are about 5 inches higher than stock. sigh. And a soaker tub. And a washer and dryer that 'talk' to each other and the washer will have no agitator in it. All I can say is it's a good thing my husband works for a home improvement store, and he better stay with them for a long time.

                My friend's husband is going to work on inventing a stove top that I already want. It will be totally flat top but the WHOLE top will be able to cook, so where ever you put a pan it will turn on, and he's going to make it so that it only turns on for metal so if you put your hand on there.. nothing.

                  I like appliances but suffer from an extreme lack of space. So I just give the food processors a forlorn glance....

                    My favorite places in the home is the kitchen and the bath.

                    I want bamboo counter tops or butcher block counters (I get turned off by the knowledge that granite is not very friendly, sad, I know!). Nice stainless steel sinks, a lovely fridge with a bottom freezer and french doors and of course, the creme de la creme, an industrial gas four range stove with a convection oven.

                    I've tried going green and using electric but I have a hard time controlling the heat. It drives me crazy.

                    And of course, my favorite kitchen feature: my wall of knives.

                      In my expriance, gas ranges are more user friendly and economic then electric. I have the same problem with it that you do.

                      Which is why, as soon as humanly possible, I'm trading in my electric range/oven for a gas dealie!

                      Right now my counter tops are tile but I would LOVE for them to be steel. More "commercial" grade than what you get with Granite (which is bad at hiding pepper grinds, really sucks when you're making sugar cookies and you get pepper in the dough!!)

                        Oh yeah, definetely. As much as I love stainless steel and stuff, I would like to break the monotony of it all with some wood up in there. Then again, I'm a more 'savory' gal (that's what I was trained on anyway) so of course I'd be biased on the butcher block.

                        That might suck balls when it comes to tempering chocolate but if I were to do that I could always get a small granite board I could work with.

                        And yeah, I find myself scorching the bottom of my dishes because the damned coil doesn't cool enough for it.. or it takes longer than necessary to do things because I don't want to scorch. -.-

                          Angelic, if it helps you feel better, they feel as good as they look. Only thing with the knives is you will cut yourself with them a few times. In my case, I have a set of 6 Shuns I got for relatively cheap (compared to regular price for them), and they're definately worth it. Oddly enough, they really aren't that good for meat cutting, mainly vegetable cutting and delicate cutting. For other knives, my favorite is the Kai Wasabi Blonde Deba knife. Its a great boning knive and works for when I don't want to ruin the Shuns.

                            I hear you about dream kitchens and appliances. I live in a tiny apartment and lack room and counter space. When we decide to buy a home, the main requirement will be a huge kitchen with lots of counter and cupboard space. I also would love to have a gas range, but I will settle for electric as long as it is big!! I have a tiny, apartment size stove and my oven sucks. I have to cook everything at 200 or 250 degrees or it burns to a crisp!! I would love to have all the latest gadgets!! I finally broke down and bought a blender last summer and I made the storage work, but damn it I wanted one!!

                              I can tell you from experience that this does work. In addition to my butcher blocks of knives (yes, plural) in my kitchen, I also have a lovely dagger prominently on display on my bookcase in the living room. Having met a few of my nieces' dates in my place, I can tell you that such displays definitely throw these boys off. Way off.

                              I am pretty bad with that. It's to the point where I have been out and about with friends in some shopping area, and make them not let me go into a particular store that sells kitchen stuff, as I will either shop there for a while, or spend way too much money on stuff.

                              I love my kitchen stuff. I really, really do.
