This is an excellent addition to the set of Four Star knives my wife and I got as a wedding gift over 30 years ago. It's got a great handle and is very well-balanced. Like our other Four Stars, it cuts beautifully with minimal sharpening, and holds an edge for a long time.
I’m not chef, I just cook stuff at home. I’m coming from the Babish clef knife, which served its purpose, but I was ready for an upgrade. I landed on this when I saw the deal on it. This knife is a perfect blade for me. It just feels good in the hand and cuts like a dream.
