I have personally seen the Emeril line. The knives are just flat blades
the entire length without that beefed-up section where it joins the
handle (I always forget what that is called sorry). In addition, those
knives are not forged, they are stamped and of much lower quality. Most
of the knife manufacturers put out a line or two of these stamped
blades. They will look impressive in a knife block to the unknowing eye
but are usually not for anyone who cooks a lot.
