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!

Monsoon Wedding Monsoon Wedding is a return to form for Mira Nair, director of 1988’s Salaam Bombay! Nair’s gift for observation of the everyday and her love for her characters make for a delightful film, which spins a web of family relationships that knit and break during a wedding at a perfect pace. The excellent performances exceed the often stereotypical roles on offer (including the incomparable Nasiruddin Shah as the harassed father, Kulbhushan Kharbanda as the comic uncle, and Shefali Chaya as the orphaned cousin). Nair’s sympathetic eye for the unnoticed and the harassed is at its best with the tender romance between the servant and Dube (Vijay Raaz), the marigold-munching, upwardly mobile wedding coordinator, who brings pathos and humor to the often unseen servant classes. The handheld camera gives a docudrama feel to this celebratory look at the upper-middle-class Hindu Punjabi joint family, while paying tribute to modern Indian public culture of music, television, and, of course, “Bollywood.” –Rachel Dwyer
Customer Review: Saw It In The Theater, Had To Have It!
A fun romantic comedy. My mom and I both enjoy it very much.
