you wish you had bought this one
this one came with a set and i've had it for thirty years. yes I know, time for a replacement but there is nothing wrong with it. I am being told I should use a shorter knife for slicing my vegetables and sushi but this blade gives you surgical precision and great leverage. all of the knives that came within the particular design set are well balanced. The handles are heavy and have a good natural grip to them. You can sharpen these with a whetstone of any sort even though the set I bought came with a nice heavy steel sharpening rod. You will not regret buying this knife. You should also buy the paring knife. Gorgeous little piece of work.
