We got a coupon in the mail to eat at Roy's and receive a complimentary Santoku knives and a cutting board. Since I'm a sucker for a coupon, we made reservations at Roy's at Opentable.com. As a side note, we've found that only 1 restaurant has ever read the comments that you can leave for the Maitre d' and that was Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger in Wellseley, MA. Christy is deathly allergic to nuts and everytime we make a reservation, I put that in there. Only Blue Ginger has ever relayed that info to our server where she made sure we know which dishes had nuts in it. Sorry for the digression. So after spending a minimum of $75 in order to get the knives, our server tells us that we got the last one. Not sure that is true but as long as I get them, I don't really care.
The knives are okay. The quality isn't that good and steel is not that sharp. In the picture, I have our Wusthof Santoku knive (black) in there as well for comparison. I highly recommend that knife which costs more than the dinner. Funny thing is, we actually don't even need these knives. We could probably use the cutting board. Maybe I could sell these on ebay but a quick search shows you can buy them at HSN.com for $15. Maybe next year I'll use one knife as a white elephant Xmas gift.
