I find myself reaching most often for my Schmidt Brothers Evolution 6" prep knife more than any other knife in my collection. I love the feel of the knife, it's not too heavy and the handle fits so comfortably in my hand. The grooved blade combined with quality stainless steel somehow helps food to not stick to the blade ensuring clean cuts of food. Clean-up is a breeze with soap and water .... I'd never put it in the dishwasher! Treat youselt to an Evolution Prep prep knife and make cooking easier!
