Steve,

I was just poking around and noticed a reply from you on
another usenet group which I really don't participate in any
longer. Your reply was to a woman inquiring about knives.
Long story short, you said that ninety some dollars was way
over priced for a Henckels 8" Chefs knife.

Not true. It depends on which model. That's certainly in the
ballpark for the Professional "S" series. All of mine are
the Pro "S" line. Expensive? Yup. Worth it? Absolutely, at
least as far as I'm concerned.

I don't recall exactly what I paid for my 8" but it was in
the $90-100 range.

EH... you know what they say about opinions. ;-) The Pro
"S" feel much better in my hand. You don't like 'em, fine
but don't chastise others who have different a different
opinion. I wasn't attempting to start any arguement, just
simply pointing out that $90 for a Henckels isn't outrageous
like you made it sound.

If you can find an 8" Henckels Professional "S" Chefs knife
(not one of those multi-blade things) for under $89.00 I'd
love to know where. Excuse me if I don't hold my breath
waiting for proof...
