Out of the box, sharp! Perfectly weighted, robust handle with heft that fits well in the hand. Unique and personal design. Excellent addition to your collection.
I chose this knife specifically for a few reasons. The detail on the blade, as well as the length, were perfect for my needs. The shape of the handle is, in my opinion, much better than traditional straight-handled knives - the little bit of contour helps it feel comfortable using a number of grips. The edge has yet to need anything more than honing maintenance (using it in a professional kitchen). The only problem I've faced so far is getting everyone to stop trying to take it and use it themselves.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the sharpest knife that I have ever owned. It slices through various cuts of meat like a hot knife through butter. Highly recommended!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this knife for carving chicken, duck, beef, etc. it’s really great for that. Its thin but sturdy blade makes slicing very easy. I also use it to Alice vegetables and it works great for that too.
