[Sca-cooks] A question about knives from Isabella

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Has anyone on the list ever used these?

They're designed in Germany, made in China, they sound really good, but has 
anyone actually used them? The prices seem reasonable, the sale prices on 
the co. website are the same as the prices you can get them for at other 
culinary webistes. Thinking real hard about getting the santoku for Dan; 
it's a shape he seems to like.
