Who all has qualified for the 2 knives this month? I will have by the end of this month!! I am so excited, and your right, PC knives cut like no other knife I have ever used. My brother and his wife just ordered a big set from a host. We can't wait to see the new knives when they arrive.

I will have qualified and earned the knives as soon as I submit Friday's show (which the hostess keeps adding orders to so I haven't closed yet! )

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
