Basic Knives
Anything but simple, the Basic Knives collection is a design by Caroline Noordijk that brings tons of functionality and increased productivity into the kitchen. Utilizing the flat, empty surface of the blade, Caroline incorporates other kitchen tools into the knife. This eliminates having to switch tools and saves time. Having a peeler, grater, zester, or a measuring spoon in my hand at the same time as the knife would do wonders for speeding up my dinner prep time.
Nice...since my roommates like to cook... ;)

Cool stuff!
Posted by Bart | August 3, 2006 11:14 PMHmmmm, sorry to spoil your "find", but looking at the pictures you've posted, it seems to me that the white handle sticks out further than the knife's cutting edge.
If there's something you do NOT want in a knife it's just that.
Your knife needs to be able to cut all the way along it's edge rught up to the beginning of the handle.
However, if you're looking for a decent set of kitchen- or cooking knives think Global, Sabatier, MAC, or Tojiro.
And I do recommend Global. Expensive, sure, but nothing comes close in cutting experience. Hmmm, could be I'm a bit biased here... ;-)
If your're starting out: check out the Global Santoku knives. Excellent all-round range of knives that... Very good at slicing, dicing and mincing. Decent at chopping too.
Well, I'm rather passionate about cooking (& knives in particular) so...
