true... i have knives that are 'worth' $300-$400 and use them, but some of the $30-$100 ones are better. i am hard on cutting edges anyway and i seem to cycle through them, if they don't 'do it' for me i either pass them along to others or sell them. i have a couple favorites that will not change, but also looking at newer and better. but i just can't see spending cashy money on trash. i totally missed what this post was about. it was a 'review'. my bad. and i can't even blame this on the pain meds.
