[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this beautiful tool as a wedding gift. I know a good deal about knives and I think the price is fair considering the beauty of the blade, and wood used. To get an SG2 core knife at this price that looks this good is definitely a steal.
As for performance. I don't own a sharper, thinner knife. I love the flexibility that is in the blade as well. At first, I thought the handle would be uncomfortable because it has a large belly and it is "D" shaped. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this knife feels. I actually really enjoy the thicker handle, even though I have small hands.
