Anybody watch Alton Brown's show on the Food Network? Yesterday's episode there was a segment on selecting fresh garlic filmed at the grocery store. After going through the things to look for on the outside of the bulb, he glanced around for a store manager, then pulled a Spyderco knife from his pocket, opened it one handed, and cut a clove in half to show how it should look inside. I didn't get a good look, but I would guess it was a stainless delica. The foodtv.com site says this episode will air again 2/20/02.

Yeah, Alton is an eccentric flake. I like that.
You can watch Emeril's entertainment show, and learn little about how too cook. He's fun to watch once you realize his obnoxious exterior hides a basically fun loving dude. Many of his recipe's in his cook books are fouled up also.
Alton Brown ... now I can learn something from him... kind of like the basics you'd pick up in a cooking school. I also dig the science part. Key thing I learned from Alton: you can putz around with proportions and ingredients in much of cooking, like soups, salads, gumbo's, casseroles, etc.
But baking? Baking is a chemical reaction, and you putz around with the ingredient list and proportions at your own hazard. Some sauces are this way also. Takes skill.

Yup, I caught it, too. It looked like a Delica to me, but I couldn't tell if it was stainless or not. Another reason Alton is my hero

I'm a huge Good Eats fan. If you like the show, check out http://www.altonbrown.com and http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com. Both are pretty cool. The Good Eats fan page has transcripts of the shows, recipes, cast lists and some nifty trivia.
Oh, and if you caught the garlic show, you'll see Alton using a custom Murray Carter kitchen knife. The man has taste.
