fitzie Fitzie, Tell me about linen tablecloths that don't need ironing. Sounds too good to be true. I'd appreciate your thoughts, Tim Granzeau

Tim, the tablecloths I referred to are cotten and probably made in India. They line-dry very nicely, especially on windy days.
Linen is another story and (imho) needs ironing to look good. However, in my dotage I'm not as picky as I once was and now forego starching the napkins and simply steam iron them. We use them daily and I think they get better looking with age.
Linen tablecloths do need starching & ironing to look their Sunday best. Don't use them as often as I used to. With the grandsons living with us, we're into placemats big time.

My knife just arrived. Unfortunately I'll have to wait until I get back from Chicago to try it out. It looks beautiful though, and the edge feels amazing.

Amy,
The double-hollow looks gimmicky.

From the description, the 7.5 sounds like a real workhorse; do you need this at home? If so, I would buy it. Have you handled either one?

I held both of them. Can you see an advantage to the double hollows? (Which are only on one side of the knife I should add.)
