?DO you know where I can get a decent set of knives which will stay sharp? I'm willing to pay up to pounds 80. - Jackie Jones, Ashby de la Zouch, Leics ZENA SAYS: Knife block sets look great on display in the shop, but they are often disappointing. Many have stainless steel blades stamped out of one piece of metal and sharpened on an industrial machine. Once the blade gets dull, they are virtually impossible to sharpen at home.
Wendy Miranda, of Lakeland, suggests their Soft-Grip 15-piece knife set, at pounds 49.99 (www.lakeland. co.uk 015394 88100), which includes six steak knives, scissors and a sharpening steel and block. For a single knife, try their Kyocera Ceramic Slicing Knife at pounds 48.97. Alternatively, I suggest the Lion Sabatier Licorne fivepiece set in havea wood block. It's currently on special offer for pounds 79.95 from Kitchen Kapers (www.kitchenkapers. co.uk, 01276 683688).
