No regrets! I was a bit anxious to purchase this knife online without having a feel for it, but so happy I did! I'm not a pro by any means, but was taught to hold a knife using the pincer grip from an early age. This knife has the option to do that. Hahaha! I didn't even know that was a thing. So sharp! My heart was beating fast the first time I used it. And I thought my old knife was sharp. Wow. Even the sound it made was nice. A whole new world of quality. I was so excited! I do have to upgrade my cutting board to get the complete feel of the knife, but so far...I'm sold. I purchased it directly from here because I don't trust other sellers. Don't let it sit in water. Hand wash if possible. If you use the dishwasher, be mindful of the detergent you use. Read a lot of reviews (for other products and companies even), customers complain about rust. Our fingertips get "pruny" after being in water for too long (and we're made of mostly water) so imagine a metal sitting in in water being treated with harsh soaps and detergents. I treat this thing like I want it to last years. Not too heavy, not too light. I have long fingers and it's comfortable. My husband has fairly big hands and he also is in love with it. It was like shallots we're being magically thinly sliced. Beautiful. Next is the cleaver. I. Cannot. Wait. Give it a try. Worst that can happen is you don't like the feel of it or whatever and you can return it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this Everyday to cut up the kids fruit for the day. Very durable and it maintains its edge for a long time. Easily removes the “icky” bits.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first professional knife. I’m not a chef I just use it at home and it’s incredible how easy it is to cut chicken or beef… Or chop salad. I love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Knife is the perfect length/weight and very sharp. Wished the handle was a little more rounded to feel better in my hand. Matches nicely with the Henckels classic forged 4” paring knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is a work of art! The blade is sharp and the steel runs all the way to the butt of the handle. The handle feels good in your hand and is well balanced.
