As an essential tool of the trade, a good knife makes life easy.Well balanced, enough 'heft', but not too heavy, and sharp enough to cut precise without effort.This knife checks all of these.But what makes this knife somewhat different is its sharpness.It is literally razor sharp. Almost dangerously so.And there is something as too sharp - for a reason.Standard practice tells us that kind of edge simply cant hold up to the daily beating and will become dull faster.With exceptions.So my concern - and I will post follow up reviews - is how long will it hold that obscenely sharp edge, and how easy will it be to re-sharpen.For reference my go to daily knives are "Zwilling 4 Star"; they get beat up hold their edge, which gets professionally touched up every 4-6 weeks, back as new. So here's me hoping.Other than that, it was on sale, a no brainer great deal.

Beautiful knife at a great price with a sharp blade to easily cut through almost any food (other than bones). Nicely weighted also.

Cuts beautifully, feels comfortable in my hand, love the handle.

A little on the heavy side. (with the hardwood handle). Razor sharp out of the box. Holds a keen edge. On the down side, the metal pommel is rough and has a sharp edge where it meets the wood. It feels like a cap and is not well milled to the handle. Weight wise, it could work well as a chopper. But I like a lighter, better balanced blade for slicing. I am comparing to my old santoku with a bamboo handle. I would not pay 70.00 dollars for it and at 40.00 I still think the fit and finish is lacking. That said, I will put it through it's paces and decide if it is a keeper or it belongs in my knife graveyard.

Sharpest knife I have ever had the pleasure using....I like it so much , I only use it cutting carrots , and other vegetables, in order to keep the knife sharpest..... Anyway I really like it.....

It was a gift for my mother in law, she loved it and before I gave it. I tested it myself and was surprised with the sharpness

This knife performs fine for our chopping, slicing, and dicing needs

sharp, sturdy, just what I wanted to replace the cheap knife in my block.
