My Obsession with Knives

Ever since I saw it, I've had this bizarre obession with it. The Six Star Cutlery set that is, which is an amazing addition to my kitchen I must say.


Never before has a knive set of this magnitude really done it for me until now. I've never been one to obsess over knives, guns yes but knives, never...that is until now.


Strangly enough, the Six Star Cutlery has found it's way not only into my (amazing) ritualistic cooking, but it's been known to shown up in photos, dreams and yes even a good game of Madlibs will probably recognize the excellence of the Six Star Cutlery.


Honestly, I don't think I've ever gotten so excited over a knive set before in my life and I've grown up with many...Cutco to name a few.


Looking back though, my mom once stumbled upon a great Alaskan Ulu knive which, after using, she bought about eight more and gave them out at Christmas. At first I thought it odd but after I used this amazing Alaskan knife, I understood the ridiculously sick cutting power this little knife held and to tell you the truth, it excited me. Check it out. I'm not kidding.

Come to think of it I am now realizing that I'm pretty obsessed with the Alaskan Ulu knife too. I guess I just never stopped to ponder the degree of obesssion like I did with the Six Star Cutlery until now.


Do I find it odd that I am now publishing my uncanny fixation?


Yes.


Do I care at all?


NO.

Yes I must say I agree with Liz about the little Ulu knive. Once you get the knack for using it, (rocking back and forth) it can't be beat. I saw it demonstrated many years ago on QVC and simply had to have it. I promptly bought four or five.
I think I can admit being giuilty over Liz's obivious obsession over knives...
When I think back it was me who after seeing a commercial many years ago HAD to have the Ginzu knife that NEVER dulls even after cutting through steel (as shown on the commercial) and then still cut clean through a tomato. I immediately bought 6 of them.
I am also guilty of buying a set of Cutco (arguably the best in cutware) from my nephew when he was selling them (a short lived career however).
When my Mother was living she was always complaining I didn't have a decent knife in the house and I have been making up for it ever since.
