Look at those prices and tell me you're not lolling.

edit - actually tbf, they seem to be discounted heavily nowadays. But I recall looking a few years ago online and seeing them for around 20-30% more.
Lakeland must be kidding - just comparing the 15cm flexible utility - £47 pounds in OZ and £71.99 in Lakeland. Actually, just had a quick look on Amazon and that price doesn't look high. The UK distributor must be a rip-off merchant.
My Global cleaver costs £96 in OZ vs £140 in the UK

I don't quite see the objection some have to expensive knives. A Global knife is probably a once in a lifetime purchase as it will outlast you. People hardly seem to blink at shelling out £500+ for a fancy smartphone they ditch for a new one every 2 years.
Earlier in this thread I dissed my Kyocera ceramic knife. I would just like to update that as I have found a way to sharpen the thing and it is now my favourite knife as even though the sharpening is more time consuming than for a steel knife, you could get away with only doing it once a year or two if you weren't as fussy as me.
My other Honda runs on grass.....cuts it too.
