Mon dieu! C'est pas vrai?!

There are a lot of excellent things going on here. But probably my favourite is that the Sabatier brand in question was/is owned by a company in... err... Connecticut.

Also - who the hell knew that Connecticut had three 'c's in it...?

From now on I'll be pronouncing it: CONNECT-i-CUT.

If I may suggest: don't. It is unlikely to win you many friends.

You're right, it doesn't scan properly does it. Should be: con-NECT-i-CUT.

You don't make friends with trochees.

I’m from New Jersey. We always used to joke around calling it connect-i-cut when I was a kid.

Ahh the age old debate, is a stamped blade really inferior to a forged one if all other parameters are equal?

Doesn't Forschner also make Victorinox? They are like European Mazaki

Big frown from me for disrespecting Henckels.

The quality of a blade depends very much on the condition of steel prior to the HT irrespective of whether one is forged or not, but generally pretty well everything forging does to the steel is undone (like alterations in grain size) or achieved (like dissolving carbides) with proper normalizing/annealing/cycling before the quench.

I have a couple Sabs one vintage & a modern K-Sab. I believe all the propaganda.

The Sabatier is fully forged from one solid core of steel Hell Yeh

The Sabatier is handled from start to finish by the finest craftsmen in all of France. Well ugh my K- Sab had scratches in the pins & a gap one of pins hole too big. Was able to fix at least was nice pieces of olive wood. What do you expect these days 10" for 100 bucks.
It does have good balance the carbon you can get sharp in a jiffy.

Henckels is handled by Robots Boo Hiss
In brave new world Advances in Robotics will be the new workers they don't call in sick, just keep going. Had an old Henckels carbon blade was a pretty good knife.

Vintage carbons by Henckels are great! Profile similar to the old Sab, more neutral balance, you may like or not, steel quite a bit harder and more predictable.
