Well, Sabatiers come in a number of styles, and in both carbon steel and stainless. I always buy carbon steel. I like a razor sharp edge.
The style I bought is from their historical line, this is a replica of the pre-WWII Nogent style knives, dated 1930. It's exactly what I wanted, because it's what I grew up using, my grandmother always used Sabatiers. I'd been patiently waiting to find the Nogent ebony handled 12 inch for a while. I'm so happy, it's my new baby. All my other knives are carbon steel as well, and most are Sabatiers, but this was the cherry on top that I was missing. I just prefer French carbon steel.
Anyway, this one cost me $145. Not bad at all. They had more expensive Sabatiers in other styles, but I wanted this one specifically.
