This is a really good deal, for a great set:

Come-Apart Kitchen Shears: great for opening packages safely in the kitchen--they seperate for easy cleaning.
Peeler: the perfect gadget for potatos, carrots and all the big peeleing jobs.
4.5-in. Gourmet Utility Knife: big enough to slice through meat yet easy to handle for small jobs as well.
5-in. Gourmet Spreader: can cut through tomoatos with the fine serrated blade and is long enought too reach the bottom of the peanut butter jar. Semi-flex for easy use.
Two-Stage Hand-Held Knife Sharpener: sharpen the utility knife and all of your other straight edge blades with the hand held sharpner. Easy pull through motion sets the ideal edge in a hurry.
8x12-in. Bamboo Cutting Board: rich looking cutting board for prepartion of all your food may double as a cheese plate presentation board. Hand wash after each use.

We have this set at home. The knife and scissors alone would be a great deal at this price. Now, if the cleaning lady hadn't stolen our 8" knife, I'd have my full set.

@jeffrjohn: She was probably mad because you were out of Lemon Pledge.

@jeffrjohn: Apparently your cleaning lady got ahold of the ones on this site, too. They're all gone.

This is stamped steel, not forged. Not high quality.

@thomasr: Being forged is not an indication of quality.

Here's a cheap forged knife:

Here's a very good knife cut from sheet steel (and it isn't full tang):

Is it your contention that the Farberware knife is better than the Global because it is forged and has a full tang?

There was a time, maybe thirty or forty years ago, when those were good rules of thumb. Now they are just marketing terms for German knife manufacturers.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
