You could get them for $50 or less. I have one that i bought for $15 years ago and it works better than $100+ fancy euro stainless knives as a cutting instrument.

bingo - except the stay sharp longer part - stainless usually stays sharp longer
carbon steel is not in fashion with the yuppies - makes it easy to get good knives cheap - even cheaper if used
