Cutlery, Full Set, 13 piece, Cabernet, Paperstone: ?

The $398 for the full set of Elk handles is actually a huge bargain.

Even more amazing when you do a "per knife" breakdown.

JB......you must not be logged in to get the right price.

yep, the pro site shows a small set for $157. The Elk set show up at just under $600 for me, how come you get a better price? I guess I get the complainers price...LOL. Anyway at about $60 each for an elk handled knife is not to bad if you look at from that point of view.

You are in for a golden treat jb if you can de-bug your prosite sign-up/sign-in. It only took me two years to work it all out. CA Dave is a master at it, however.

What I finally did: Taking the key information you received when you became a BCCI member: Use a unique and new email (I used my wife's) and a unique and new password to sign up at the Buck Prosite (both email and password can never have been used with any of Buck's site before).

Where I was going wrong all of those wasted, miserable and expensive years: I used an email address that I had already used for other stuff, ordering web specials for example, on the Buck website. I think this is what put a crimp in my gateway to joy.

The same happens for me unless I go from the sign-in page and slide the cursor across the top until I get to "cutlery", then click on that. I always get the higher price if I try going in through Buck's front page. Does that make sense??

Stumps,

That is how I entered the Cutlery section. For me the 13 knife Elk set has $995 with a line through it and a red price of $597 next to it. At $31 each knife I just might be tempted to get it!

I think a lot of those knives are serrated.

I prefer un-serrated blades.

I don't know if they show the stag anywhere so you can tell what the blades are like for sure.
 
Why buy kitchen cutlery now you ask: The future, being inherently unpredictable, has taught me that those who hesitate are lost. And...

1. Buck may disco kitchen cutlery
2. Stuff needs cutting now
3. Teeth break, fall out and fail so I may not always be able to chew stuff that needs cutting
4. Can't afford knives or stuff that needs cutting in the future
5. Coconuts
 
Coconut???? You have coconut?

As for Buck discontinuing kitchen sets.......that's real possible.

Well, I've decided that if you snooze, you sometimes lose. Unfortunately, being in California, I had to pay tax. Now the waiting begins. A four week lead time doesn't seem too bad. I think I'll e-mail Joe and see if he can get them to use some nice antler on my set.

Ahhhh... Drink the sweet water and spoon out the young soft coconut meat.

BG, we have a window on the south side where the light is just right and the potted coconut tree does real well... Or not. Can you believe I went to the H Mart, Korean, store and bot a coconut just for this post.

Excellent choice CA Dave. Well done. Now the waiting... For the dinner invite!!! What's for dinner with such cutlery. Prime Rib for me thank you kindly!!! Just kidding. Would you even use the Elk set for something as mundane as food or just revere it as art, cutlery art.

Finally. Thank you kindly Desert Dave. Someone who knows from experience. You know how to live. Did you get a steel???

Even waders won't keep me above the bs here, at times, I think wings are needed to keep me out of it. :) :)

Coconut action shots!!!

Expect ANYTHING in this forum.

I, for one, would like to see coconut action shots as a regular item here. After all, what is holding you back besides fear of denting your knife's fine edge and love of all your fingers.
 
No I did not get the sharpening steel with our set. In the Islands I've climbed the trees and picked coconuts and cut them open like you did. The milk was better and the meat awsome. By picking them before the shell gets hard, one can spoon out the meat like eating a cantaloupe. Thus a much finer tasting product. DM
 
Thank you David.

I'm pretty sure I need to see a photo of you up a coconut tree. :) Ahhhh, the good old days and tropical good eating. Perhaps some have had the tasty coconut pudding Haupia that is similar to the fruit of the young coconut with other Hawaiian food. The last one I picked, actually knocked out of the short and curved palm, was on the Black Sand beach of Kalapana, now covered with 30 feet of lava, many years ago. Still have it around here I think. Brought it back on the plane by going thru inspection on the Big Island. Good times. Loved to swim in that warm and bouyant (all that salt in warm water makes you float better, if you don't believe jump into the Great Salt Lake where you cannot sink if you tried) Pacific Ocean in Hawaii. Loved it.
