This handcrafted, solid maple pepper grinder was created by Vic Firth, a renowned drumstick designer, to fit your hand as comfortably as a musical instrument. With its special locking crown nut, it can be adjusted for either a fine or coarse grind, depending on your taste. The lovely pale maple gives it a sculptural look, making it a handsome addition to your table or spice rack. --Shannon Borg

This review is from: Vic Firth FED06PM12 6-Inch Federal Pepper Mill, Maple (Kitchen)

The Vic Firth pepper mill is easily worth the list price, at least among the higher price options I looked at. The wood and wookworking are excellent. I chose the basic maple because I generally keep a pepper mill among my knife block and other unfinished maple kitchenware. I'm just as happy with it in the dining room.

The mechanism works as described, crushing, then grinding to a wide and more precise than I had expected range of grain sizes. I've changed the grain size, refilled, and regularly used a single setting. It has been very consistent in maintaining a setting I like and is as fast as the other pricey models I've used.

It comes with a lifetime guarantee and was priced well lower than retail. I expect that over time it will be a good value, provided that it doesn't get snatched up by another pepper lover.
