I received my 6inch prep knife just in time to wash and start prepping dinner. The knife arrives in a beautiful box sitting inside a foam insert. Inside the top lid is resting a sleeve for the blade so don’t overlook that! I washed it with warm 
soapy water and was ready to start chopping. It felt comfortable in my hand while holding it. And it made easy work of gliding right through all my veggies. I really like the grooves because it prevents the slices from sticking to the blade as they sometimes do in a smooth blade knife. I am very happy with my new knife!
