Great kitchen workhorsePosted By: AB

Great knife if you're working in a kitchen. Handle is very comfortable even after hours of use, and blade height is just right personally. Easy to sharpen and retains edge well. Only complaint is that since it is so light, some things can be a bit harder to cut if on the hard/dense side.

Very Light It’s a dainty little thing. Posted By: Morgan

It’s light and has a very sharp blade, and it’s beautiful. However the blade is also very thin, which doesn’t make for a great all around knife. The handle is better for people with smaller hands. The right cook will have fun with this one.
