Default smallTTs: OT theoretical question for you

"If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?"

<g> No, I'm not going to start that again... just had to ask. Rahul, did you get those knives for Christmas after all?

Default Nope. Lots of other cool stuff, but no knives. I need to do some more research on this, anyway.

I'm having some doubts of which brand to go with... :-)

Default I'm finding Wusthof, Henckels, and similar brands to be overrated. A top chef here in Coral

Gables, Norman van Aken, told me to buy Global. They're Japanese, and he swears by them.<ul><li><a href="http://www.global-knives.net">Global</a></li></ul>

Default along with a Wusthof chef's knife that I like a lot, I have several -->>

Dexter-Russell knives that I've bought in restaurant supply stores here and there. They're not terribly expensive, and I really like them. I have seen them on the web a few places too. I have the white handled ones; there are a lot of types to choose from too.

Kinda off the subject, but don't buy Henckels flatware. Bought a set and it's rusting, made in China

Default Will do. I'd like to go to a place that sells all of these and see how the various makes fit my hand

& balance, etc. I've used one Global knife - it was VERY light, I think it would just be a matter of getting used to 'em.... Accckkk!!!

Now, I just need to find such a store... :-)

That would be the best, IMHO.
