I've been using this knife for almost a month now and it is incredible. Out of the box it easily passed the newspaper test and the craftsmanship is gorgeous. It's easy to care for and keeps a nice edge as long as you make sure to stay on top of upkeep and general knife maintenance. All in all a great investment and I will probably continue to buy this line of knives in the future.
