Am not personally familiar with these specific knives, but merely making the observation that list price on knives is seldom, if ever, observed. This might be a good deal, or it might be the normal street price.
Zach, those are stamped, not forged. If you’re willing to go with a lighter-weight knife, they’re fine. Alternately, if you’re going with stamped, look for the Victorinox-Forschner line.
What Bob said.
These are the “Gourmet” line and as Bob pointed out, they are stamped.
Better option is the “Classic” line of knives. I use them and love 'em.
Be a man and just buy the Hattatori KD!
What Bill said Bob said.
like Brett, I own a few Classics and love 'em … I might even prefer my 8" Wustholf Classic over my 8" Shun Classic – but the jury’s still out on that one – I haven’t owned the Shun long enough to have developed a solid opinion.
