"This knife is razor sharp and very well balanced. Nice weight, not too heavy and not too light, just right. I own several different brands of knives and wasn't happy with any of them. Then I got this one and now it's the ONLY knife I use for everything from simple slicing to heavy duty chopping. Only problem is that my wife gets mad because I make her use the other knives and won't let her touch "my baby"!! LOL Small price to pay for a quality knife at a really great price point. Buy it, you won't regret it!!"
