I opened the box and my first thought was "I should've bought two." This seems like the perfect in between knife: about as long as a small chef knife but a more versatile shape with good weight and balance. I like the curve and point at the tip for precise cuts like destemming a tomato. The blade appears to be very sharp and based on my other four star knives, I know it will have the durability to last.
I have many of the other knives from the four star series but this one doesn’t feel as substantial as the other original ones. It’s too thin and lacks the gravitas of the others. The look and feel seem lacking the weight and comfort of the others. I’m disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This knife is very sharp and nice to use on smaller things like mushrooms, strawberries, and smaller tomatoes. I like the fact that it keeps my knuckles off the cutting board unlike a paring knife. The only negative thing I have to say is that the handle feels a little cheap.
