thats a typo - should be 5"

Yes, anywhere and everywhere you purchase knife sets if there is a block included, it counts as a 'piece'.

Admittedly, this IS kind of a steal. Apparently it's worth $1000.

Holy s**t! The set includes a five foot utility knife!

Does it come with the iPod in the picture?

Much more importantly, will it work with the Roomba?

alright knives!!! now i can focus on actually working lol

It's not that quality knives shouldn't cost this much, it's that people who really need that kind of knife are unlikely to buy them in a set with a wooden germ holder.

These are aimed at people who will pay a lot for something they don't really know how to use, thinking that having expensive knives will make them a better cook.

Did they mention they're packaged in 5 $100 bills?

I don't know, but if he's selling $59.95 knife sets for $525, he's got the right idea!

At that price, these knives better come with the Asian that made them and it better be a hot female Asian!!!

WOw, this is a great deam on Shun...too bad I already bought a great set a little while ago :\

WONT YOU REGRET IT WHEN IT SELLS OUT AND YOU DID'NT GET IT. ITS BETTER THAN A Boggy Old Creature

This is a great set, but I can't take good care of knives. I received a set of Wolfgang Puck knives for Christmas and I've already ruined half of them.

Holy carp...too bad most people weren't on last night....only $180 more for 2 knives.

A little cheaper would be nice on this one woot!

That being said, great knives for a pretty good price(retail for around $900). If you have the $ jump on it.
I'm thinking about it

Yeah....a great deal too.

No way these are better than Ginsus.

That's what the 5' "utility knife" is for. Hiii-YAH! Take THAT, Roomba!

I already bought $500 knives today. Darn.

I thought this was a joke. Then found www.it-echo.com - Sure enough, $530. So no bargain here.

I'm impressed at Daddy Warbucks with a purchase of three of those expensive things.

This price HAS to be a typo...right?!

Crazy. Just crazy.

Wow!, Did you notice the 5'(foot) utility knife?

What a bargain!!!!!

Good price! Love my Shun Kaji Fusion. There isn't a better knife on the market.

Wow, $520 is way too much for knives that aren't even full tang.

let's move on!

what's with the extra slot on the block? is it for the expensive knife sold separately?

Why is it a 9 slot block with 10 slots in it?

I'm thinking the two-foot-long handle on the 5' utility knife is too big for me.

Beautiful looking set (that's what he said), but $520 - whoa!!

Have these passed the Crocodile Dundee litmus test?

Don't they mean $19.99 for Ginsu Knives?

WoW! Someone actually bought three!!

That and Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Utah are lit up like xmas trees on the map...

Do it!! Do it now!!!
Get to the choppa!!

I think I would rather buy a PS3 and some games or some hookers and blow....but a knife block $500 really? If I found myself spending that kind of cash on a knife set I would really have to sit back and re-evaluate where my life went wrong.
