Really OT: SC - Re: Shoe size

[Robert Newmyer]

I have an 8 inch Dick (obtained locally) and have found it to be perfectly
adequate. I an told that using too large a Dick interferes with the cooks
ability to finish the task at hand and often leads to sloppy work.

I have been receiving a catalog from:

Phone: 800-859-6994

They sell Sabatier(old-fashioned carbon steel!! & stainless), Dick,
Wusthof-Trident, Kyocera (ceramic & zirconium oxide), Masashiro (sushi
knives), and many, many more. Also sell cookware. This is a real "wish
book".
