Shun knives by Kershaw
Alton Brown uses them, some guy in Hawaii hand makes them, I WANT ONE... or ten!
But you know, they are like... $175 for just a chef's knife. To me, however, it's worth it- if it lasts forever and holds an edge really well and feels good in my hand, well, that's important to me.
What's the most extravagant kitchen accessory you would buy/ have bought? I don't have one... yet. I think the most complicated kitchen thing I've actually bought (that wasn't a gift) was my toaster oven.
Also, PM me if you'd like to make a donation towards one of those knives
