I have just purchased a few of these https://www.amefa.co.uk/richardson-sheffield/luxury-knives/midori.aspx for a frankly ridiculously cheap price. I am waiting for them to arrive to replace some very dull Pro Cook knives.
How much would you/have you paid for a kitchen knife?

I have decided to support cottage industry and got a Vietnamese knife
I like the coop idea, recycling of material, and I like the knife itself

My father in law gave us £50 for Xmas a couple of years ago, and we brought a set of kitchen knives from M&S for £75, which is much more than we would normally spend. Good knives. But they need regular attention to keep a good edge on them...

Some friends bought us an expensive japanese paring knife for our wedding. It's almost too good, so sits at the back of a display cabinet because we're worried about damaging it. (silly I know)
We bought this set a while back, but with a wooden block and black handles

pretty happy with it, does need fairly regular sharpening though.

The maxim buy cheap, buy often coms to mind. At 70, I'm not planning on croaking, but you know, plans change!Cheap and cheerdul for me. I have no intention of buying anything that will last longer than me.

Yes, we have one of these. My knives were a wedding present, so I suspect not expensive, but it keeps them properly sharp.
Lady Byegad, on the staff's day off, so annually, is renowned for taking a steak knife for every job! Which, having worked food preparation, drives me mad.
Seeing her try to chop onions would make grown men watching on CCTV weep. I can chop an onion before she's done more than remove the root and stem ends.
I always use the appropriate knife, whereas after the first and last time I mentioned this too her I caught her trying to carve a roast with the bread knife!
