The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Since buying a nice cleaver I seldom use anything else. With its keen edge and extra heft it's bloody wonderful to use and has quickly become my go to knife. I love it!

I watched a lot of Chinese cookery videos and they use it all the time. It gave me inspiration to get one and I'm very glad I did. The added benefit of scooping up what you just chopped is ace too!

We bought some knives on impulse from Procook, I’ve no idea if they are anything amazing as they seemed a bit DFS with their sale set up, an extra 20% on a Wednesday afternoon etc.

They had a test area and the middle knife sliced through sweet potato like butter.

I’ll grab a wet stone soon and have a play.

It doesn't look like a code that is unique to me....
Just to let people know, this code still works.

No, it was nearly 50% of the cost of the knife, I went for the next one down that was about £6

Japan Post?

See my comments on P3. It will arrive but you are looking at a month or so before you get the request to come and collect it and pay the duty.

Post office if you chose Japan Post. They hand over to Royal Mail who collect the tax and duty on behalf of her majesty.

Our local supermarket is running a 'collect stickers and claim knives' thing to get people to bump up their shopping bills. The knives are SMEG branded and made in Germany apparently. I've had the big chef's knife a week and was initially impressed as the 'cut paper' test was passed with flying colours. I've had a number of SMEG appliances in houses over the past 15yrs and they've always been good to look at but fucking useless and poorly made - true to form within a week the chef's knife is rusted despite being stainless. :lol:

Good for generic crap jobs in the kitchen but not something I'm going to care about forever.

Duty system has changed though hasn't it? I was going to ask, given the price, if they're even currently shipping to the UK as many have stopped at present.
