Very sharp. Not razor-sharp, but quite sharp enough for a kitchen knife. Perfect size for general-purpose kitchen chores - for me, your mileage may vary. Slightly heavier than similar sized knives I've had so far - which is actually quite good in my opinion. Well balanced. Handle comfortable to grip both for me (I've got larger than average hands), and my wife. Has been in use for a few days, and seems to be holding its edge well. Of course, only a few weeks' use will show exactly how durable the edge is.

Very satisfied at this time.
