the handle of these knives in rosewood is magic. perfection, really...the fit in your hand, the density and richness of the wood, the balance and lightness of the blade, which is brilliantly tempered and so sharp you probably wouldn't even feel it if you were to cut a finger off. This is the kind of knife that just feels right, the kind you want to put under your pillow at night. Not only for protection, but also a mysterious desire to always keep it closeby.
I used this knife to prepare dinner the day I bought it. It's replacing a 30+ year old Zwilling Santoku of the same size that has only one handle rivet left.
I'm impressed with the balance of the new knife and feel of the handle, but I think I'll be learning how to chop with it, just for safety's sake, as my older knife is lighter.
Its sharpness is perfect because of course, it's new. I was able to cut plum tomatoes, which can be a bit squishy, perfectly into small pieces. Chopping Boston Lettuce was easy and the knife handled its buttery texture well.
Good quality knife, very well balanced. Feels very comfortable in the hand. I really like the handle shape. Is effortless to use. Highly recommend investing into a good knife like this, makes prepping food so much easier
This knike cuts so easily, also very comfortable to hold while cutting. I’m just a home cook and I dont think of myself as having the best knife skills but I do find it much easier to make lots of different cuts with this knife because it is so much better than my amazon knives. I received this knife as part of my wedding registry from a local cooking goods store so im also happy that I could get such a nice gift while also supporting a local store!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really nice fit and finish, super sharp as always, bolster is a little more steep than my Zwilling pro but it's not uncomfortable, just different.
