I wish I had read the description, this knife is the size of a paring knife. It is very sharp but is to small to easily use. I was looking for a larger chopping knife. If you can use it that is great, I will keep looking though. I also did not like the black handle, it is so light and hard to "feel" while I am chopping. Personally this is not what I expected but for those people who are seeking a small chopping knife, here you go!
I absolutely love this knife. I gifted both my sons with this knife and bread knife and steak/utility knife. They love theirs also. Will be ordering more merchandise in the future.
