I am not a chef, but I still wanted a good quality knife that fits into my budget.  This knife checks all the boxes.  I love the traditional look with the 3 rivets as well as how light weight it is.  Very durable made from one piece of steel which is the sign of a good quality knife.   Also the tang goes all the way through the handle, which is also the sign of quality in a knife.  Glad I went with a trusted company that has been in the cutlery arena for many years.
