How to Buy a Knife : Recipes and Cooking : Food Network
High quality long lasting knives do not come cheap!

Around here probably one of the closer places to buy better quality knives (read: not walmart or kmart) would be Bed Bath & Beyond. Kohls carries some food network branded knives. If there's a kitchen supply store around here it's slipping my memory.

ex: Calphalon Contemporary Open Stock Cutlery - Bed Bath & Beyond
