KNIFEBLOGGING: Pugs Of War notes: “Just a note for the day – Amazon is offering a Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece knife set which is nominally a $595 set for $200 today. These are truly awesome knives and though I can’t justify the purchase of any more kitchen cutlery, my cooking eye is twitching as I look at these beauties.” They’re kinda pricey to me, too, but lots of people like ’em.

Plus, noble uses for buttermilk.

UPDATE: Reader Chuck Herrick reports that they’ve gone up. He’s right! Stupid dynamic pricing. . . .
