Excellent
Posted By: JimS
Love this little knife! I find it easy to control and it makes mincing garlic or herbs a breeae. I haven't yet had the opportunity to use it on poultry, but its design suggests that it would be effective. The smaller blade should provide easier maneuvering. It comes with an excellent edge right out of the box, and sharpening it is a breeze.

Sharp but maybe too light

I'm not a knife expert like many on here, and was trying to replace an old Hiromoto carbon steel petty that I loved. This knife is quite light, with the spine only going half the way down the handle. Seems pretty balanced, and sharp enough. I don't know if the weight thing is bad or not.
