those are very nice, and not THAT high lol, i saw some on knifecenter that were like $300 or $400, damascus/etc, couldnt handle listening to my wife bang one of those around the kitchen, lol, would flip me out. so i guess the $30 or so ones will have to work, she bought a santoku at kohls dept store, has the absolute weirdest grind i have EVER seen on ANY cutting instrument, i outta take a pic, anyway its just junk though she paid $25 for it, told her let me get it, ya would think she would realise i probably should pick the knives out, lol.
thanks
