I would go for it. The Genesis series is an excellent set of forged knives. Not the cheaper stamped series. They usually sell in the $40 dollar range. The short bolster allows you to sharpen the entire edge, unlike the full bolster that is on the right in the picture, above.

I was going to pass. I do like their stamped knives and have several.

I just bought two all clad pans for the price of one yesterday in their 48 hour factory seconds sale)... I have to pass,.. i am still happy for now with the 10 in mercer for my needs, and I want some other kitchen gear(carbon steel wok, etc) I think more then an 8 inch knife right now. however I do want a smaller then the 10 chef knife. Thanks for always posting.
