dem beats

I have these. Just about time to replace and I have had them 10 years, with an >4000 hours of really hard work in them. And I am lethal to boots and shoes. http://www.redwingshoes.com/productdetails.aspx?prodid=1168 I think it's those.. It has been 10 years....

Nice boots for sure, but I need safety toe shoes and they only have nonsafety toes shoes I thought they did have safety. Your only choice then is redwing.

I think I'll stick with Kirby, Rainbow or Oreck myself I hated the oreck momma had when I was younger. I love my electrolux though.

neat Just hope it does not roll over like the cargo ship that squished hundreds of Mazda's. Or the box of M3's that got tipped right when the new style was released.

Am I scared of germs? No, but will I take reasonable precautions, good practices, etc? Yep, I sure will. Then don't cut chix on wood even if I keep my wood boards in good condition and oiled and then wash after? I have always used wood for everything. I only started using plastic for the wife. Can you cut any meat on wood?

You got me there.... Not going to try that.

thank goodnes i'm over 18.

oOOOH baby do you know what that's worth? probabaly 20 years for touching boys.

I touch myself and I am a man.

Chuck noris is affraid to fully power his funky pup.

It's funky pups or yer ghey.

I like pastrami though instead of regular corned beef.

I want a 6 pound reuben sammich right now.

and a TOP Hommies!

I have big pretty counter tops!

learning to cook = panties.

most.

Agreed. That siad I only like wood. I don't beleive in germs. we have some plastic ones but I never use them. You can find awesome cutting boards on ebay on the extra cheep.

Er'....its a gift for me, so I am trying not to be to picky. My logic is get the craptastic block set I have now replaced for everyday use. Then I will invest in my own 10+" Chefs knife for when I am in the kitchen. This will keep the kids off my knifes. understood. My wife and roomate don't use my knives unless I hand it to them actually.

As for the southpaw... you can get the edge and handle to be left hand ready. Everything is custom when you get hand forged/made items.

lol I missed the part where you said you knew we would tell you not to! I read right over it. Selective reading. My bad. But seriously... don't.

Skip the block set, it's an amazing waste. I understand the appeal, but it's just a huge waste. You only need a chef knife(or santoku if you would rather). A paring is another GREAT adition. everything else is seriously over rated. If I could do it all over again I would get a larger than 10" really nice cheff knife and spend way less on a deba for working around bones and hard material. Probably just have a german hefty paring knife for odjobs.

and I have a few more knives.... the cutting board was too small though...

Your cutting board is WAY too small. Remind me when I am home to take a picture of my knife collection LOL I have a cutting board that's just about the exact size of my cook top.

"good lord!" lol Bull > Prancing Pony
