No really. It does. I was shocked. I've never bought a kitchen knife that can really shave your hairs off your arm. Works better than my razor

hard to imagine a knife with greater functionality. An unbeatable value, in my opinion as someone who knows his way around the kitchen, blindfolded.

A unique design; however, the edge retention is very poor, which leaves me somewhat dissatisfied. I have owned other knives from the same brand that worked wonderfully for me; yet, this particular model went dull in less than half a day—and that was without making any heavy cuts.
