[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a chief knife which I use for just about everything however my hands are small and if I am preping a lot then it is a little unwieldy. This multipurpose knife is well balanced especially for smaller hands and in a pinch is small enough to use as a pairing knife. What else can I say it has a wonderful edge, it is super sharp and beautiful to look at.
Perfect edge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful looking knife of great quality. Sharp out of the box. Versatile. Feels good in the hand, great for smaller hands in particular. Perfect size handle and the perfect weight— not too light but not too heavy. Can use for all types of cutting.
Beautiful knife!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, it is a work of art, beautiful construction, graceful flow from handle to blade tip, excellent instructions; a perfect gift. The first slices are magical: smooth, precise width of cut, and easy to clean and store.
Quality, refinement and toughness all in one.
