i have to disagree. i was so shocked at how fine this knife is. when all i saw was a pic online, i thought "eh, not sure i'd wanna pay $200 for this."

if i had held it in my hand, then told the price, i would have bought two. i would have paid more.

i also couldn't believe how light it was. i had to check the steel, must be somethin wrong, so i gave some old hard wood a whackin and sure enough that edge stayed true.

did i mention this is th sharpest large knife i own? a slicer with guts, comfort, and beauty.

i can't believe i got such a premium knife for so low a price.
