Sharp OOTB, stands up to daily use on garde manger/sautee prep work. Very light weight and nimble.
Just be aware that knuckle clearance may be slightly tight for those of you with larger hands. My knuckles will sometimes bang the cutting board if I'm not aware of how I'm holding it. Has just required weekly honing after two months of 50 hour workweeks of use.
