I agree, I have a pepper mill I bought for less than $10 that is more than 25 years old and works just fine. If it breaks I'll spend another $10 for another 25 year mill. Still $100 less yours.

Ahh, but in MOST cases, things aren't made the way they were 25+ years ago.

I still have 2 WearEver Cookie Shooters (those green and white ones) from the 1970's. They work like a dream to this day, and kick the CRAP out of anything on the market WITHIN the last 20 years.

Quality is good but can be had a lesser price.

the pepper mill features a case-hardened steel mechanism that cracks the peppercorns before grinding.

Now that is cool. That would give an even grind, something my $20 grinder/shaker cannot. It makes a huge difference in pepper cooking because those big chunky peppers are like glass in your stomach. I was told to use no pepper, or only white ground pepper or NO pepper. I said what about "fine" ground pepper. Well black is bad. But I said if it is as finely ground as white.... Ah, still bad.

So I bad a grinder from costco that does pretty good, but still, kinda chunky and to set the grind level is virtually worthless. So to some of us, this kind of thing is welcome. Sure, I could cut out pepper all the way, but I only need to cut out larger chunks of pepper, not all.

You might want to try the McCormick ones I was talking about earlier, then.. It's a pretty fine grind.. Not adjustable, but no huge chunks either..

Mine will grind finer than what you get from a can. I guess ya just gotta find the right one.

That is true, most of my hand me downs are better than my modern crap. Unless we are talking about my dream DMP knives, (can't find the thread, but he posted something about knives and I want those knives, seem better than cutco), I buy stuff on the cheap. And pay for it, later, and again, later.

Did, that is why I have costco grinds, oh, and threw out the one my brother bought me. Fancy, but too chunky.

Can? Who said anything about can?

These are what I have, and I LOVE them.

I wouldn't recommend buying any knives as a set, tho.. You end up with two much crap you don't need. I bought mine individually, and then bought a block based on the knives I bought..

Henckels makes a LOT of different knives, and different quality. I just like the Professional S series because of the way it fits in my hand, and the way it feels.

Just comparing the fine grind of whats in a can to chunks.

The meat cleaver makes an awesome pizza cutter.

I have a cleaver (not a Henckel) I very seldom use.

Try it for pizza.. That's about the only use mine gets...
