God help me. I have a new knife. It’s really sharp. I also have a new box of band-aids. Because my new knife is apparently more than I can handle.
Oh, sure, I’ve had lotsa new knives before–but never one like this baby.
It’s a weapon. I could seriously hurt someone with this knife—in particular, ME!!
This knife can cut through a whole unskinned onion like it was butter. This knife can cut paper thin tomato slices, green peppers, radishes and carrots. This knife can mince garlic and dice onions better and faster than any chopping device I’ve ever owned. This knife costs $70.00. Not a lot when you consider high-end chef’s knives can cost upwards of $100.00, but a whole lot if you consider you can buy a full set of Paula Deen’s at Walmart for $59.99. This knife also comes from a surprising source.
Yep, I got sucked into attending one of those parties we all say we hate but secretly love. This one was a Pampered Chef party and I gotta tell you, I spent some bucks. This knife was just one of many purchases I made for reasons I’m still trying to sort out. (I’m not normally an impulse buyer and I’m usually a bargain shopper–usually)
Looking back on that night, as best I can tell, the punch was not spiked, and there wasn’t anything “funny” in the brownies. Could it be chalked up to a mob mentality? Maybe. There was some frenzied buying going on. Or, maybe the Pampered Chef garlic press my daughter-in-law gave me two years ago that STILL hasn’t broken was the trigger–(all you garlic freaks out there will know what I mean when I say it’s really hard to find a DURABLE garlic press) Who knows. Whatever it was, I did some serious shopping, and this knife was just a drop in the bucket when you consider the rest of my purchases.
After using this knife, I have a new respect for all those contestants on Top Chef and Hell’s Kitchen. If their gleaming kitchen knives can cut better than my new Pampered Chef Santoku, they’ve got some serious skills goin’ on to still be in possession of all ten of their fingers!

Tanky Monica!
I love Pampered Chef!
Very nice blog..I like it here!
Hi Theresa111
Thanks for the advice–I’ll give it a try!
Hi Niecey! I only have the garlic press (and now the knife) The rest of my stuff will be in next week! You should check out the knives for sure.
I hear ya–my hands always look like I’ve been in a fight with a very angry cat!
Try holding your knife just above the handle pinching the blade and the handle at the same time. Be safe. i love pampered chef!
Hey Mystery! Love the new place! You’ve got it set up very nicely.
I also love Pampered Chef products. I have the big baking bowl, and have for years. I never thought about the knives, and will have to check that out. Please be careful with the knife, it does look sharp. I always have some kind of battle scar from the kitchen. Usually dry hands, but cuts and burns come easily for me, so I have to be careful. I’m going exploring through the garden to see what all you have here. I really like it.
