This knife is used around the world. This shape, this size. It can go from cutting thin slices to doing fine julienne. It will peel and it will mince. For a knife like that, you want a sharp blade edge. This Pro 6-inch is made of one the world's best cutlery steels, created to hold an edge and require little maintenance. Just regular honing and maybe a once a year sharpening.

I prefer my knives longer, so I gave this knife 4 stars, however if this is the knife you like to use, it is one of the best.
