One definition of Beauty is: Functionality. This knife is of very good quality and well made. It came sharp right out of the box.
From a rating of 1. being the lowest quality. You know the knife you purchased from the big box store. To 10 being the most expensive knife you can buy. Hand tooled etc.
I would rate this knife at 8.9 What do you need a hand
tooled knife for? To impress your Epicuren friends?
The steel in this knife is of excellent quality, has very good Workmanship, The edge has significant hardness, without being brittle. A very excellent knife.
