Thanks! Now I am even more unsure <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am worried by your description of the spirit's knife feeling left-handed: that does not sound good. You are right that I should try them, but they are so much more expensive around here than when I buy them over the internet (about 100 dollars vs 50 including shipping), that I was hoping to be able to buy it without trying.
