Miche doesn't need to feel bad. I had no clue what you people were
talking about either until someone mentioned it was a knife. Kiwi
brand isn't sold at my local 99¢+ store and wasn't in the big 99¢
store either when I went and looked specifically at knives.

An 8" wide chef knife has been my go-to knife for a some years now. I took a
brief detour with a santuko the kids got me for my birthday, but found
myself falling back on the chef's knife more and more until I can't recall
the last time I used the santuko. My next favorite is a 6" boning knife
which I use to trim meat. My knives are a mixed set of Henkel's 4-star (that
I purchased 20 years ago) and Sabatier Professionals that Marci brought with
her. All good knives.

I was just curious... I have a drawer full of cheap knives. I just
googled Kiwi and one looked familiar - turns out I already have the
Kiwi with a curved Santoku type blade, but it's not my favorite knife.
I have three Ecko Eternas and three Diamond Cut knives that I like
better.

We went out for my mother's birthday today. Turns out it is a ceramic yoshi
knife. i have never heard of those before. She brought one set for my
mother for her birthday and one set for my sister. the one she bought for
me is now my sister's. Because I can't get it on the airplane through
security.

She said she's a sucker for infomercials, but I would never have gone out of
my way to buy one.

They don't look special. And the instructions say they're only for slicing.
Not all that useful.

My mother explained to me that a gift of knives means severed
friendship, then charged me a penny for the pocket knife she was giving
me for my birthday.

Just put it in your checked baggage. It's legal to travel with a
machine gun as long as you check it and don't try to carry it onto the
plane yourself.

According to my aunt, the gift of a knife severs the friendship. All
you have to do is "pay" the giver with some small amount of money,
$.10 will do.

Who's the troll? Lindsay seems to be carrying on a perfectly reasonable
discussion, so other than the name I don't think that she is trolling,
however since she is pretending to be someone who is currently in jail
it is not trollish to tease her about it.

I've heard where some folks consider it bad luck to give any kind of
cutting implement, and for any occasion. I've been told that if you
want to give someone a cutting implement like scissors, or even a
pocket knife to a boy scout that one gives them the money to buy it
themselves. Of course this makes as much sense as thinking the
superstition of a black cat crossing ones path is bad luck

the kiwis look (and maybe even feel) a little like a cheap ekco and the
like. but they are sharp as the dickens and seem to stay that way for a
long time. i've had mine at least three years (probably four) and haven't
even thought of sharpening it.

as all get out.

This one went dull in the drawer and it's a b*tch to sharpen using my
Chef's knife sharpener.

Heh, I need another knife block so that's a good idea. I'll give him
one so dull it will only tickle.

That would be rather obvious, don't you think?

Considering that some of the groups it posts to are :
alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,
alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk

(ie, well known troll crossposting groups)

But, "she" seems to have you well and truly sucked in.

Six cats in ANY house is disgusting. I don't care what the cat freaks
say it's not normal.

Legless parasites are what're castastrophic... a garden weed is a
treasure compared to the mick, at least a weed photosynthesizes waste
products... legless parasites are witless waste.

>Six cats in ANY house is disgusting.

Drug users/dealers are what are disgusting, should all recieve a death
sentence first offence... public drowning en masse... why waste
water... in fact strap em into a tank so folks can **** on them.

i think ekco is the proper name of the Ecko Eternas you mentioned. as for
weight, i was thinking of cheap knives in general.

from what i've read, the kiwis take readily to sharpening. i also use
these

<http://www.amazon.com/Knife-Guards-Set-of-6/dp/B000QJ9JP2>

for knives stored in a drawer (or stuck to my refrigerator with a magnet,
for that matter). amazon says they're currently unavailable, but i bet
your hardware store has them. couple bucks apiece, well worth the money.
