Elegant & classic... Loving this headboard.
This headboard is exactly what I wanted! It is a charcoal grey with silver studs. In the picture it looks to almost have a hint of purple, but in person it is a true dark grey - no brown or beige hints either. It was easy to assemble (took me 10 minutes by myself), came with all the tools you need to put it together, and has the padded fabric leg covers so the fabric will go all the way to the floor which is nice. You don't see any metal or wood legs. The only thing is that it does not attach to a bed frame, but it is perfectly fine against the wall. It is pretty solid and good quality.Shipping: I ordered this item on 7/22 and est delivery was 8/4-8/12. It was delivered on 7/31 which was a nice surprise. I never received an email that confirmed the item was shipped like my confirmation email said it would, but that is OK. Just don't wait around for the "item shipped" email and be aware it will probably be delivered few days earlier than est delivery.

King of fondue pots!
I lived in Switzerland, the land of fondue, and this is the sort of pot that you find there. Cast iron enameled. It is very sturdy, goes from stove top to warmer (can't do that with clay based ones), and holds a lot of fondue. This pot is worth every penny to someone who is a fondue lover. I previously had an Emile Henri clay pot, and it wasn't worth the $75 I paid for it.Great fondue recipe:half pound gruyerehalf pound emmenthaler (swiss)grate the cheese, toss with 2 tbsp cornstarchheat pan, rub a crushed clove of garlic on the bottom, remove garlicsimmer 1c (or 1.5c if you prefer) dry white wine (I use pinot grigio)slowly add cheese mixture a handfull at a time, stirring in figure 8swhen all cheese is added, add 2 tbsp of kirschserve with cubed french loaf. Drink only hot beverages or alcohol with your fondue.

first review had to be in details :P
About Myself - i am a line cook for an average local restuarant. I've been working as a prep cook/line cook for about 4 yrs with above average cutting skills (not the best but not horrible at it either). I bought a shun sora 8" chef knife about a yr ago and cut my prep time by half. Decided to get this knife about a week ago because i liked the idea behind true single bevels.About the knife - first of all, although single bevels are sharper than double bevels, it does take a bit of time to master. When cutting straight down, the knife naturally steers toward your non-knife hand because of the concaved inside of the knife. To counter this i slightly turn the knife outwards with the bevel pointed straight down instead of the knife itself being straight.Handle - the pakkawood handle is a beauty and even when cutting pork or beef, the knife does not tend to slip making it alot safer than the cheap plastic handle of my sora.Balance - the balance of the knife is about half an inch above the hilt making it dead center. With a pinch grip right at the hilt the knife becomes a blade heavy knife making it perfect for push cutters.Edge (vg10) - razor sharp OOTB but first day on the job i did start to see minor chips (i do properly take care of a knife in a commercial enviroment, more so than most that i know). After giving it a honed run on an 8000 grit stone, all chips were gone, edge has been nice and sharp for a week now, and no signs of dulling or rehoning anytime soon.Profile - the profile of the knife is what you would expect from your typical single bevel ( kiritsuke type anyway). Less sticking of food to blade makes prep work even easier and quicker than i would have thought and of course the beauty of it is uncomparable.Overall - this knife is well worth the money but im pretty sure there are alot of kiritsukes that would get the job done at half the cost. There is a bigger learning curve to it than a kiritsuke gyoutou type(double bevel kritsuke) but i love to learn and i believe that mastery of these types of knives proves that you belong in a kitchen. ( someone who loves to cook vs someone who sees it as a chore). I would recommend this to anyone in the professional field of cooking but for an average home cook who just loves to cook, a double beveled knife is more versatile and would be the better choice for a one knife that can do all type of mentality

Wonderful addition to our kitchen!!!
I love this unit--however I mush warn you the manual is very sketchy. Like it only says 'do not clean with bleach' well one does not automaticlly think that the dishwasher soap has bleach sooo when I took the pieces from the washer the nice chrome finished was gone and now it looks like I got this from my great, great, great grand mom because it looks so old. But as for working to complete the job at hand I wouldn't trade it in. Grind up inexpensive cuts of meat for us and to make dog food - buy bulk cheese and grind our selves. Haven't used the sausage parts yet but don't see a reason why we'd have any issues. Would recommend that this is a great purchase.

The numerals are easy to see in the daylight
The numerals are easy to see in the daylight. They are big and easy to read after waking from a groggy sleep.When the light sensor feature is on and your room starts to darken, the background starts to lighten - making the numerals easily visible in the dark. When you press the snooze button, the background lights up bright. So as not to keep you awake, the background fades back to dim after a few seconds. The temperature feature reads in Celsius, but who cares what temperature the room is LOLI would recommend this alarm clock to anyone looking for a battery operated alarm clock.

very comfortable
Pros:--Smooths out a rough sofabed perfectly.--Nice materials and construction all around.--Sylvane's price of $788 is $hundreds cheaper than just about everywhere else.--Cover is not satiny smooth, so it won't slip around.Cons:--Heavy to handle, if it has to be stowed every day, like mine does. On the other hand, the weight is a plus as regards sturdiness and protection.--Expensive. Maybe it's worth it, since it so much better than anything else I've seen. I don't need the hypoallergenic features.Although this relates to the vendor rather than the product, Sylvane did a nice, fast job getting it here.

Easy to hold, long lasting sharpness
The media could not be loaded. I gave this couple of weeks to compare it with the Global one I acquired in June, honest view this one at 30% less cost is 100% better.After two weeks of every day use it is still so sharp that I have not needed to use a sharpener . It is sp easy to handle . I will definitely buy other sizes .

Excellent knife - know how sharpen it!
Love these knives, they're the best I've used... they have a 15 degree edge angle which means you need to use the right sharpener to keep them in prime condition – a sharpener not designed for a 15 degree edge will ruin the knife. If you're going to invest in these knives get the Robert Welch sharpener. It's not the cheapest but you'll know it's right for the blade edge and definitely cheaper than replacing a set of RW knives! I give this knife a quick sharpen after every three uses – takes about 10 seconds, really easy to do and the knife is always sharp enough to shave with. Can't recommend these knives enough, and this one in particular is excellent, very versatile shape and size... if I had to have just one knife it would be this one every time.

Impressive for the price.
Seriously sharp. Hope it stays that way for a while. It’s a nice weight to work with. Feels solid in your grip but the one thing is its a bit small. I have small hands so it works for me but would not recommend for someone with larger hands.
