Finally purchased a forever knife!  Broke down and spent just a little bit more, for a knife I will never have to replace!  Love the comfortable grip on the handle, as well as the bolster which makes it feel so much safer than my previous stamped knife.
The knife is made in Germany and it is high carbon steel, which checked several boxes for me.  It also is dishwasher safe, so I no longer have to worry if my kids put it in the dishwasher when  I am not home.
Perfect for paring and slicing pounds of potatoes, which I do almost weekly.  Don't know how I survived without this little guy.
