Knife Measurements

[GregLaROCHE]

This is not Outdoors, in fact indoors, but couldn’t find a better place to post it.

Anyway, I’m thinking of investing in a few high quality kitchen (Butcher type)knives. I’m looking exclusively online. I see knives of a certain length, but don’t know if that is blade length or total length. I think it must be blade length, because the handles seem to be the same size.

Also any recommendations on good quality knives? Is Sabatier still considered top quality as they once were? I hear a lot people talking about about Japanese knives. I was hoping to keep the price between $50-100, but am willing to pay more if it makes a big difference.

Thanks

I have been using Old Hickory knives for over 45 years. For my use, there are none better. They hold a good edge, once I set the bevel where I want it, and are easy to sharpen. They aren't fancy, but they will lay waste to anything that I need to cut.
