Very comfortable and effortless to use - super quality
I am not a professional cook - I just enjoy good tools for whatever I'm doing, and this is a wonderfully designed and built knife for my kitchen. It is a real pleasure to cut meat and vegetables with this kitchen knife. It is very, very sharp which makes it so effortless and comfortable to cut through everything I use in cooking. This is the best knife I've ever owned.
