Thanks, Bob; I appreciate your help.
Yes, I guess I always look for the best tool there is and then
work down from there to fit my budget. I want tools that'll
outlast me, I guess. Until I lose one & find it is unreplaceable.

The Forschner has wood handles. My old knife had ebony
handles. New handles are plastic. High dollar knife, too.

Thanks, Bob. Sorry didn't mean to be a boor about stamped knives. One
uses what works for him. Just that I've been using a heavyweight for 15
years, and a lighter knife just feels strange. This knife is about 12
oz. (330 gm.). Not near heavy enough to what I'm used to. A pound or so
(450 gm?) would be more like more like it. Thanks, shield



I didn't take any offense; just providing information. Since the
stamped/forged thing is important to you, I emphasized it. The Forschner
is a great knife, and it weighs a little over 200 grams. If you're
looking
for something over 400 grams, you probably won't like this one.

Best regards,
Bob
