Razor sharp straight out of the very nice presentation box in comes in. Holds its edge for a crazy long time due to the exceptionally hard MC66 steel construction*. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail from stunning maple handle to tip- for all the tactile folk out there check out the spine and choir on this knife, buttery smooth.

The knife suits my hand perfectly and can accommodate a number of different grips, simply a joy to use. At 9.5” in length this knife is the perfect size for everyday prep for most tasks. With proper care this should last a lifetime.

*be sure to avoid cutting frozen foods, bones, or other hard items and use a suitable cutting board to avoid chipping as this knife is hard hard hard. As with all quality knives, take care of the knife and it will take care of you.
