Fed up with my shit knives dragging food instead of cutting them when im preparing stuff. Usually buy a cheap block from Asda for £5 each time one breaks....

Any reccomendations? Want something decent, that makes it easy.

About £10

I've got a set of Henckels that I've been building over the last couple of years, not cheap but superb quality.

Anolon are very good knives for the money personally I think the Global ones are way overated

Got the Anolon's for my mum for some present or other earlier in the year, was £65 on offer I think.

Can't find the right one, it's similar to http://www.johnlewis.com/230424824/Product.aspx except it comes with a couple more knives, sharpener stick thing and 8 steak knives, I'd be surprised if they don't do the deal again.

I'm going to get the 3 piece set, but also a bread knife. (If one exists of that range).

Going to have a look online later see if I can try and get all 4 for £200.
