@simonzerafa @davep A new set of kitchen knives is one to avoid as it creates too many opportunities that are not in your favour, namely:
1) Easy access to weapons if the present is not appreciated, and
2) Easy to dispose of murder weapon(s) without raising suspicion around missing kitchen utensils (as the existing ones will still be around)
Although saying that... we have been looking at replacing our existing block (several knives have broken/got depressingly blunt/dull - Just Like Me!), so I may break my own advice there.
