Unbelievable craftsmanship and attention to detail makes this knife a joy to use everyday. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant when I saw the price, but having used this knife for over a year now I can confidently say this is by FAR the best knife I have ever used in my over 20 years of culinary experience. Easy to maintain its out of the box razor blade sharpness with a few passes on a ceramic honing it’s like brand new again. Great for any situation in the kitchen and makes any prep work a breeze with its balance and sharpness.
