Henckels and a whole mess of good stuff is down to enticing prices. The legendary cocotte (aka Dutch oven), for instance, is down to $130 for the 4-quart or $160 for the large 7-quart (currently out of stock). Or snag your new favorite knife, a forged 7-inch Santoku blade for $50 (also currently out of stock) -- down from $125 due to packaging damage.
