I Missed That One...

Alton Brown, in the middle of that opening he does, pulled out a FRN Delica to trim off a clove of it. Stuff like that got to be worth selling a few hundred units. And why I brought that up, I don't know. Interesting anyway.
I don't watch Alton as regularly as I once did due to time constraints; I missed that episode. I need to get back into a more disciplined regimen of taking in the cooking shows.

Sometimes I miss being unemployed... :p

I should have been more specific.

I was, for practical purposes, self-employed during this time period; I had a bit more time than usual on my hands as I was actually making a living wage for the first time in ten years. Granted, I spent six months or so collecting over a decade worth of unemployment after involuntary loss of my employment with precious little warning.

Just a clarification. :D

Talking about staying home while getting paid... When my wife got pregnant, she was able to stay home until she gives birth (she has a very physical job) and once my little boy was born, she could stay home with him for a whole year. That means she stopped working for a year and 8 months while getting paid to take care of our baby... Now, that is what I'm calling been treated nicelly by our government....

Hum... What was this thread about?!? **confused...***

my guess would be the Endura FRN. i don't think the Delica is the top-seller...

btw, just got myself a pair of SS Endura's, bought in an impulse.....

(hey, i got 2 hands and 2 empty pockets, what's a man gonna do, right?!) :)

don't agree with you
Endura is too big for a lot of people

Delica's got a better size ;)

Hmmm, OK. Half the enjoyment of a thread is seeing different opinions. I've now seen yours, thanks.

I just realized looking at the first page of the 2005 catalog this morning that it says right there the Delica is the all time best selling knife.

I should have read a bit more instead of looking at the pictures and drooling :) .
