Great value
Perfect knife for anyone getting into culinary arts. knife comes sharp and ready to use, nice balance and weight. good size and feels weightless. only draw back of this knife is if your hand is not dry or has any juice from produce on them the knife tends to be harder to hold. but other than that this knife is awesome. please note if you are trying to decide if you want partial bolster or full go with full. and for comfort if considering Mercers other knife series while they are just as good blade wise the handles are easy to become gouged.

Awesome Knife!
Great everyday knife. Textured handle gives great control, easy to keep sharp. I don't think you can get a better knife at twice the price.
