Love the shape of the blade and the feel of this knife in my hand. It is fantastic for cutting and chopping vegetables, much better than my conventional shaped knives. The blade is thick all the way across the top and this gives great strength when cutting through thicker vegetables like squash. I do slightly miss more pointed knife tips that can get into narrower spaces, like broccoli florettes, but this knife is a wonderful addition to my kitchen and will be my go to knife from now on. Exceptional quality goes without saying.
