Review: Five Stars - Best utility knife I've ever used. Razor sharp so care needed.
Review: Beautiful knife - Amazingly sharp knife, I mean really sharp. Beautiful to look at, nice to hold. Used more for delicate foods. The edge has a slight tendency to flake (chip) if you get too aggressive when sharpening. Don’t use anything more course than a 2000 wet stone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a sheath or box to keep in?**
A: Yes! I really nice black box!

**Q: The thickness of the spine please?**
A: Without proper measuring tools but just a ruler I would say slightly less than 2 mm, probably 1.85-1.9 mm. Very nice and well made knife however requires due care, particularly when rinse and store. Blade can be damaged if wash in the dishwasher. Overall 95/100 score. Happy buying

Amazingly sharp knife, I mean really sharp. Beautiful to look at, nice to hold. Used more for delicate foods. The edge has a slight tendency to flake (chip) if you get too aggressive when sharpening. Don’t use anything more course than a 2000 wet stone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by S***I on 7 July 2016*

An excellent product. Only issue is that I'd have preferred a slightly shorter model as it is a little unwieldy.
