Bought one for my daughter years ago when she went to culinary school and had it here for a long time. She finally got out on her own and I missed it so much I bought one for myself. Love the edge and the balanced weight.

I love your knifes I already have 2 I ordered the wrong knife size. I needed a 6In and ordered an 8 I returned it. It got lost. No one in your office was willing to make the effort to find it. So I lost the knife and the money. Your product are great your staff not so Disregard evaluations they had to be filled

I am an enthusiast home cook, and someone who owns many knives of various qualities. Some less expensive, and some more expensive than this knife. I am exceptionally pleased with every element of this knife. It holds an edge, it’s forgiving when sharpening, it has excellent weight, and perhaps most importantly it’s the perfect length. It has become my go-to knife because I’m not afraid to bang it around a bit, and I know it’s up to the task. If you’re looking for a knife that will probably last you years of heavy use, or a lifetime of light use, I’d recommend this one.

This is an excellent knife!!! It is light weight but a workhorse slicer, dicer, and chopper. I use a ceramic steel before each use and it has maintained factory edge. My next knives will definitely be global!!!
