| I saw that one, that's not the same knife... that's 8" with a wood handle,
| mine is 9" Commercial, that one is like $7 (has to be a knock off), I paid
| $79 more than 20 years ago on sale at Macy's.... comparable toWusthoffs that
| are like $100 now. The Sabatier Commercial line is apparently no longer
| available. Back then Sabatier made a 10" version too, I wish I had got that
| one instead of my 9" that's barely adequate... an 8" bread knife is simply
| too short.

Perceived length. How wonderfully symbolic. Y'know, you are supposed to
move it back and forth a bit. Enhances the experience, as it were.
