Update on the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard... the left Ctrl and M keys are dying. The M doesn't work maybe every 3rd time while the Ctrl only works one in three. Gonna RMA it if I can :\

DeathAdder is the best mouse I've ever used, period. I've had it for about 4 years now and still works great. The fabric on the cable is starting to get frayed, that's my only complaint and that's cosmetic. Great fucking mouse.

I never liked the Globals. A lot of folks swear by them, they're good knives, just not my personal choice. At work we use a lot of generic knives, no one wants to dent or break a tip on their good knives.
Now that's a knife
At home and catering I use...
SG-2 steel is the shit.

Yeah, my post came off wrong. Globals are definitely in every good Cooks' top-5. My personal problem with them are the handles and the blade. We do a lot of stupid shit with our knives (including opening large cans). I see Globals every day, use them a lot, but they fuck with my callouse on my knife hand and the blade breaks rather easy so I tend to avoid them. They hold an edge as well as any knife I've used, and that's a big +.
Shun's are really overpriced in America, but if you ever get a chance there's nothing closer to a Samurai knife. You can drop a fucking napkin on the blade and it'll cleave it in half. The only problem with the higher grades of steel is you also need a higher grade of sharperner... Anyways, enough derail. Just liked seeing some good kitchen knives show up in this thread

Vaguely related to the knives subject: One of my brother in laws is a sous chef at a pretty high end joint. One day hanging out I mentioned how sharp his knives looked as he was rolling them up. He said he saw someone recently slip up with theirs just a TINY bit and cut their finger clean to the bone and sever some nerves.
High end chef knives scare the fuck out of me since then. I tend to cut myself on random every day shit like the dryer, or a screen door. The idea of using these razor sharp utensils on the reg is something my clumsy ass just can't think about.
