Give me a break! At my local supermarket a 4-sided cheese grater costs the 
dollar equivalent of $4.06!!!

The price isn't about function, but about ego.  "See, I have the best 
equipment in my kitchen" (even if I don't know how to use it).

That said, I've got a couple graters in my kitchen gear that are around 80 
to 100 years old and are still going strong, while some of the cheaper ones 
I've purchased are now with the recyclers.  Top quality, but too pricey for 
average kitchen use.
