It’s my favorite knife by far

When I got married 30 years ago, I registered for a very basic knife set. I always thought it was fine and didn’t think I needed top quality for my very simple cooking. I didn’t love it but it got the job done. I recently received this knife and honestly, you don’t know what you don’t know. This knife is like a different level entirely. First of all, it’s so comfortable and well balanced in my hand. I find that the motion of cutting is more efficient and faster. The knife cut through items like butter. I’m laughing because it’s so trite, but that’s actually what I said the first time I used it. I didn’t know that a knife could be that smooth and effortless. I guess it’s true that you get what you pay for. This knife cost more than my others, but it’s such a higher quality blade that it’s worth it. I have two family weddings coming up and I’ve decided that really good quality knives will be my gift. I wish I had splurged a little more all of those years ago!
Receiving this knife made me realize how valuable a good knife is for cooking. It makes meal prep so much easier and fun. No more squished tomatoes with juice squirting everywhere! Trimming chicken is a breeze. Just be careful, as this is super sharp! I’ll be purchasing a few more knives in the near future to add to my collection.
This is really a great knife! My husband is our cook and he is raving about it's size, shape and sharpness. His only complaint is that the handle is a bit short.
