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

Thank god, Halloween is next month perfect timing!

If I didn't have a nice set of Wustof knives already, I'd buy these! Shun makes awesome knives. (I bought the Shun mandoline off Woot a few months ago, love it.)

I used to be one of those people that thought expensive knives were silly. Then I got some. They actually cut! Well worth it if you do a lot of cooking.

Can you refurbish knives?

Oh, how badly I want these. Don't have 500 to drop right now though.

As far as price, I spent 300 on a set of 4 knives from Henckels last year. If you like to cook, there is nothing more important in your kitchen than your knives. Everything else still functions well if it is cheaper, but you will absolutely cringe every time you use a lower quality knife after using something like this.

$520+ knives...for the guy who wants to slit his wrist in style.

for that much I can buy a $20 knife from wal-mart and hire a thug from the trailer park for $100 to kill my wife. keep the rest for myself! no thanks woot!

would be nice if you could test them first, cut and end myself from this long wait. NEXT!!!

Just so you know when the Boggy Old Creature comes up later you would have had to purchase this knife set in order to qualify to receive a bad of scaffolding. The Woot Gods didn't want to use the closing of the dow this time.

It is for the bread knife which you will not need since you spent $520 for a knife set and cannot afford bread anymore.

Is there some reason this item seems desireable to the northern part of the country? Is it because they have so much time to hang out in the kitchen during those long winters? This knife set better have a LOT of interesting attachments to make it worth $500+.

$525 for knives? And then I still have to cook my own dinner? For $525 I can have some hookers bring over their own knives, chop some food for me and cook it, then feed it to me. On second thought, forget the food. And the knives.

i'm 12 and what is this

Can I use these to pick the stuff out of the garbage disposal??? How about using them as screw drivers? How they hold up?

Are these Jason and Freddy approved?

Alright people, buy it....NOW.

going once...

going twice...

sold to the millionaire on the right!

But those hookers won't last you a lifetime...of course you wouldn't want that anyways.

If I buy this and it doesn't actually have a 5 foot sword, can I return it?

That "utility knife" is pretty intriguing.

Sure, just buff out the scratches and polish 'em right up.

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

Again, I ask: 8 pieces included + block, but why is it a 9 slot block with 10 slots in it?

That's two extra slots. Must be for the finger and thumb you cut off with these?

Is this Shun Ken the same guy that made Uma Thurman's Samurai Sword in Kill Bill??? Is Shun Ken short for Hatori Hanso?? if so...im in.

And there's the killer.

Mostly because you simply can't afford to drop $500 on quality knives?

If your a cook or chef, you know these are worth their weight in gold.

Looks like deathe to the Woot-off to me

Well, the shears look like they have a flat blade screwdriver on the back, so yes?

last night when the woot off was just starting they had a similar knife set with 12 knives for 700 bucks. They sold out quickly. Apparently there are people out there who really really want good knives.

These things look SPECTACULAR when flaslights are shined on them. Not to mention battery powered wind effects.

Professional Chef tested......

Home Chef approved....

buy buy buyyyyyyy them

You're kidding, right?

4" for a chef's knife is tiny as hell.

Not to mention with those handles you'll get barely any leverage while cutting.

If you do enough cooking to warrant the purchase of a $500 knife set, at least get a decent set of knives.

Is the 5 before the $19.99 just a typo?

Serious question if I may. How smart are these guys?

Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and COLORADO.

It looks like there are about 100 of these with something like 89 to go.
