I can't help with the weight of the knives ... but a great place to find most
any knife you can imagine is:

We go to TN once a year and I always buy all my knives there.

| Pardon me if this is OT to this NG. I am also asking this in
| rec.food equipment and rec.knives looking for answers.
| Figured y'all'd know about knives:
|
| After much research and agonizing after I lost my chef knife, I bought a
| Messermeister Meridian Elite 10".
|
| I got the knife in the mail the other day and have not used it yet as
| I am terribly disappointed at its light weight. Undoubtedly it is a
| fine knife but it just feels like a lightweight stamped POS. Yes I know
| it is forged not stamped -- I bought it for that reason and because it
| was so highly rated by so many people. But my old knife was a real
| heavyweight & I loved it!
|
| So I am still looking for a knife. If there were a place around here where
| I could go look at knives, I would have already done so, but there is not,
| so I have been doing all my research on the net.
|
| QUESTION: Can anyone tell me the weight of the following knives that
| are comparable to mine (i.e. 10", forged, riveted handles, high carbon
| stainless)?:
| - F. Dick
| - Wusthof
| - Henckels (I know, sintered, not forged grom a single blank)
| - Any others I should know about?
|
| TIA,
