Pinzon 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knives in Wooden Gift Box Add a stylish accent to dinner parties with this affordably priced set of 8 stainless steel steak knives, which comes with an attractive black gift box–perfect for table presentation. They feature a sleek, one-piece construction that’s both stylish and practical, and there’s no attached wooden handle to wiggle loose. The serrated edge never needs sharpening, and it will ably handle both the juiciest steaks and the most tender tomatoes. They’re stamped rather than forged, and made from somewhat thinner metal.

Gorgeously shiny, these corrosion-resistant knives are made from 18/10 stainless steel. The “18/10″ designation refers to the proportion of chromium to nickel found in the stainless steel alloy. The 18 percent chromium enables the steel to form an invisible layer of oxide that protects it against corrosion, while the 10 percent nickel gives the knives the classic silvery sheen.

The black wooden gift box features individual slots for each of the knives and includes a silver latched closure.
Customer Review: These knives are the real deal.
The box is a well-crafted wood box which makes this set very attractive right off the bat. The knives don’t disappoint as they’re very sharp and feel very well balanced and comfortable to hold. Great gift set at a very nice price!

Her Bridal Night (aka The Bride Is Much Too Beautiful) Customer Review: A witty, delightful comedy
The Bride is Much Too Beautiful is a charming romantic comedy. There are four main characters and the actors/actresses all do a fine job. Bardot plays the ‘good girl’ role. With pigtails and ponytails, she looks even younger than her years. Despite her youthful appearance, she exhibits an extraordinary amount of sex appeal. Despite Bardot’s awesome prescence, this is one movie that she doesn’t dominate. Louis Jourdan of Gigi fame plays his usual suave and charming self. Micheline Presle plays the role of a career oriented publishing executive. I thought her performance was excellent. Jean-Francois Calve plays one of BB’s love interests.

The script is quite well written. For example, when Bardot was asked by guy who admired her if she liked necklaces, she replied ‘Not if there are strings attached’. While there is some narrative used for information purposes and to move the story along the movie is mostly dialogue and not narrative.

The musical score is quite good. One melody is very enchanting and invokes memories of the incomparable Unchained Melody.

The movie I saw was in black and white and dubbed in English. Despite these shortcomings, I found this movie quite charming.
