I bought this knife for my wife for Christmas. She is a chef and is on her knife 4 to 6 hours a day 5 days a week. First of all it is a beautiful knife from tip to butthe. The handle is smooth and perfectly shaped, I have big hands and it fits me perfect. The knife is very balanced and light if held correctly. There are a few things that I’ve noticed worth mentioning… it needs to be hand sharpened out of the box for me to consider it truly sharp, I didn’t do it with this one and my wife came home on day 2 and made me sharpen it. It gets dull fast and the blade is a little thick. When sharpened though it is laser sharp and has a mirror finish. Be prepared to put some time on the stone to keep it sharp.
