Everything about this product shows its attention to detail, from the excellent craftsmanship of the handle, to the beautiful blade, and even the package it is in. The blade comes out razor sharp, and once you use the knife for a few hours, it the thought into the grip for the ergonomics and control really come forth. Despite it not being flagship of this brand, the thought and execution of this product is most satisfactory, and I personally enjoy the use of this knife now and for the foreseeable future. (That is until I upgrade this chefs knife for another one of their products)
