Worth the investment; requires care and feeding
I have owned this product for about 6 months. I have used it regularly in my work as a prep cook. I prep hundreds of pounds of carrots, onions and ginger by hand every week. A note for people early in their culinary knife journey: this knife is “fragile” when compared to the knives you will find commonly in an industrial kitchen setting. You don’t want to put it in the dishwasher and you definitely don’t want to cut anything but vegetables with it. If you’re using this knife in its wheelhouse and cutting vegetables with proper technique, it is hard to find a better experience. If you can 1.) avoiding any twisting of the knife when the blade is in contact with the cutting board 2.) wash the knife by hand with soap and water 3.) dry the knife completely before putting it away, and 4.) learn about how to properly sharpen/maintain this type of knife—or pay a professional to do it for you—you’ll have lifetimes of service from this tool. It genuinely makes my time in the kitchen more enjoyable. This was an awesome Xmas gift from my amazing wife. It is a Ferrari for the cutting board. I always enjoy using it. If you don’t mind the care and feeding, you’ll love this knife. “The quality remains long after the price is forgotten.”
