Hi all just thought i would post this, Tesco are doing a 70 percent off vouchers in their stores with the booklet they give away for free and every 20 GBP you spend you get 1 token towards them. You pay either 4.95 GBP or 4.99 GBP for each item, BARGAIN.
Here are the knives i got the Large Santoku Knife 175mm/7" one used today making three bases, very sharp and a very nice weight.

Thanks for this review, UF. I've got 7 tokens saved so far and was going to go for the large chef's knife, followed by the utility knife, depending upon what I thought of the chef's knife.
If I gather enough tokens before the offer ends, I was going to go for the Santoku. I might get that one first now, based on your recommendation. :)
Is it true the Santoku is better suited to tap chopping and slicing than rock chopping?

Hi ian yes i just went through around 8 kg of onions in no time "tapping" instead of cutting, the weight is just right as well hardly any effort needed to slice onions.
I have the large 7 inch Santoku and my other half has just text me to say she got me the Utility Knife.
Slices through carrots as easy as pie as well.

Santoku first it is, then. Might even get it tonight, if my local Tesco has it in stock. Thanks, UF.

Should I have been surprised to discover some enterprising soul selling these vouchers on eBay?

Probably not... ;D
Anyway, I've found that if you get the right checkout person and ask nicely, they'll slip you a few extra vouchers...

Hey UB
I've got all the knives I wanted now, so I can pass any more tokens I get on to you. I'm not sure how many more I'll get but we've got until the 22nd to collect them, and until the 6th of March to cash them in.
I've had some success dropping heavy hints with cashiers, but more asking people in front of me at the checkout who aren't collecting the tokens if I can have theirs. In fact I think I got most of my tokens that way. No shame. 8)

I've now got all I needed from that promotion, and have 4 vouchers left. If they're any good to you PM me your address and I'll get them in the post to you.

No worries, Unclebuck - thanks for letting me know.
But if anyone else wants them, just let me know.
Every little helps, and all that...

Brilliant - cheap at half the price. Glad you're sorted. I bought the utility knife today and it's another winner. I did spend some time checking the visible cutting edge on the available knives before I chose, though; it's a bit variable from knife to knife. A friend of mine bought the Santoku and was disappointed, and having tried it, I think he got a duff one. Mine's fine. :)

From my personal experience, I can say that it also seems to help if you look like Timothy Spall. :D
