This knife doesn't cut your finger, it takes it.

This is without a doubt the sharpest and smoothest knife I have ever held. I'm a hobby blacksmith and is used to working with and making blades and dealing with blades other hobby blacksmiths have made and non can even compare. It has a beautiful finish and stays sharp what seems like forever. The handle is not the most beautiful but it has a nice feel to it. Though expensive, I'd say it is well worth it.
Beautiful knife, exquisite workmanship, great balance, and a downright pleasure to hold in my hand and use as a knife is meant to be used; couldn't be happier!
I just purchased my 8"" chefs knife and I believe it to be the sharpest, most comfortable knife I have ever held in my hand.(and I have worked in the meat cutting industry for over two decades) If you can break this knife you need to take a basic knife skills class!
I was lucky enough to receive an 8" Classic knife for Christmas and I've been nothing but impressed. Not sure how some of these other reviewers managed to break a forged steel blade, but this is the best knife I've ever owned, and with proper maintenance I'm going to make sure it stays that way for a long time.
This knives are great looking and very sharp. A friend let me try one of their Shun Knives and what a difference ! I look forward to using these knives for years to come.
