I was buying this knife as a gift for someone who might be getting into becoming a chef. However, I added a second knife of the same kind on the recommendation of a doctor of mine who loves to cook and loves these knives. My knives are getting old. This knife is fabulous so far. Cuts things like It was cutting butter: meat, bread, veggies, fruit.
Very pleased with my purchase. My mother owns the same knife, given to her by her mother. It keeps an edge, easy to use, and sits comfortably in the hand.
This knife is wonderful! Not even sure what I am supposed to be using it for but it chops onions so small, great for all vegetables; I have yet to try it with spaghetti squash that will be the true test because I love my fall root veggies and squash! It is so light and easy to hold. Love it!
