I saw that one, that's not the same knife... that's 8" with a wood handle,
mine is 9" Commercial, that one is like $7 (has to be a knock off), I paid
$79 more than 20 years ago on sale at Macy's.... comparable toWusthoffs that
are like $100 now. The Sabatier Commercial line is apparently no longer
available. Back then Sabatier made a 10" version too, I wish I had got that
one instead of my 9" that's barely adequate... an 8" bread knife is simply
too short.
