I love the lightweight feel of my Twin Signature knives.  They have a comfortably shaped handle and a full tang of steel that runs through to the end so even though they are stamped they feel sturdy. The 5.5 inch prep knife is the perfect size when you're preparing smaller portions of fruits, vegetables or meats and you don't need the full reach of a longer chef's knife blade.  The specailly formulated steel stay sharp use after use and never corrodes.
