I added it to my cart to be sure and it added shipping for me at checkout <shrug>"Well, CKTG charges ~$13 shipping so its really like $23 difference, but even still I agree with you. the better handle is still worth it. I figured I'd post the link for the truly frugal and/or those who don't care about aesthetics. Though I'm a push cutter and appreciate a flatter profile generally speaking but hadnt made that observation yet....good to know."
Actually, I think CKTG is free shipping over $100. I was not charged for it. $140 total, the difference being tax.
