American made knives, stainless steel mostly, the Chinese cleaver weighs a ton and is really well made

It's Friday and I'm trying to relax after a really long and stressful week. Can you forgive my laziness if I ask you for a link?

Quality knives are like whisks and silicone spatulas to me, you can't have too many.

Not the OXO brand, but I do have 2 flat whisks. One has a silicone coating for use in non stick pans and the other one has no coating. I like the OXO line and many of my kitchen utensils are made by them. Got to the point that if I asked the girls to peel root vegetables that they fought over who got the OXO. So I bought a second one.

I like the Cutco peeler I have but I don't know that it good enough to justify the price
