I found this when checking out the sale at Bed Bath and Beyond...these knives are comparable to ours, but l@@k at the price!!

Not all Henckels are made out of the same material either...check out the sale knives in this week's ad (stainless steel -- stamped--knives):

This Wusthof knife is not quite what ours is, and at $79.99 it is higher priced. Also, notice the "guaranteed to be free of defects in material and craftmanship" only:

Just a little food for thought....by the way, I just sold 2 chefs our Forged Knives! It's good to know the difference!

Good information to have....thanks. And wow, $189.99 each??? That's just nuts!

This will come in handy the next time someone complains about the cost of our knives.

I don't really have a problem with our prices vs. others...my problem is that people in my area (and probably everywhere!) wouldn't spend $70 on a knife anywhere, whether it was PC or Linens n Things! They would probably spend $70 for a whole set...MAYBE! I wonder if their husbands buy their power tools at the dollar general?

I totally agree with you Jen. People in my area wont pay that kind of money either. The only knives I've sold were to my hosts, 1/2 price or FPV....

No kidding Rae! How dare customers say our knives are too expensive! Yeah, compared to Walmart or something LOL

This last Christmas I had a friend of mine buy her husband a Sanduko knife ON SALE for $400. I really wish I had been selling PC at the time. In fact, it seems that most of my friends (ok their husbands) all have these really expensive knives......personally I am waiting for them to break then I am definitely going to give my knife talk.......

Just found out that the little hollow places on the Santoku are technically called kullens or grantons. Got to remember that little tidbit.
