Hi Dee,
You might want to check on Perfex:
http://www.jensco.com/perpepmil.html
It is the classic French item and I have used mine on a daily basis
for about 35 years. They are expensive for sure, and, IMO, worth it.
Just as an aside, I will mention an experience that I had with one
years ago...
I was visiting a banjo player friend of mine names Tommy Thompson
(sadly, since deceased) at his home in North Carolina. Tommy was a
serious cook and a wonderfully story teller.
As I watched him at the stove, he picked up his Perfex mill and gave
it a twist. An amazing shower of fine pepper cascaded from the device.
I commented on that display, and he simply drawled "I ran out of
peppercorns and filled the thing with ground pepper..."
That still brings a smile.
In any case, Perfex is the gold standard.
All the best,
--
