Even now, several months after we've purchased them, I still enjoy pulling out a blade and going to town on some fresh herbs or peppers. What may be most surprising, though, is that I don't even mind hand-washing the knives or the wooden cutting boards that much. I thought that was something that I would grow tired of in a hurry (I'm very much a dishwasher-centric person), but it really hasn't been that bad.

Thanks for posting pictures and explaining the ins and outs of selecting really good knives. Your knife set looks great -- even inspiring -- to use. It strikes me that inspiration value is something that is often underestimated in tools. If something will get me into the kitchen, feeling inspired and even enthusiastic about cooking something healthy, then that tool moves into the category of Worthwhile Purchases for me.
