This knife is great
This is mainly a kitchen knife. Scalpel sharp, comfortable in the hand. Spyderco does it again.

A fantastically thin and sharp small kitchen utility knife. My wife loves it and she's not normally the type to rave over a knife.

Excellent knife for everyday use.
Super sharp out of the box. Thin enough to be a great slicer and quite flexible, could almost be used as a fillet knife.

Great slicer
I was glad to see this knife back in production, since I had missed out previously. It is very light weight and the blade is thin but durable so far. I work as a grocery store meat cutter, and this knife has performed flawlessly for several weeks now. It came sharp, and has remained so with only light honing on a fine stone, and that mostly for fun and practice. The edge has not rolled or deformed after contact with bones and the cutting block. The bright steel has darkened (not rusted) a bit from use and washing/storing but I don't mind and think it adds some character. The handle is comfortable after hours of continuous use and provides a solid grip when slippery. This knife can handle large pieces of meat better than some of my bigger knives (all ordered through KC of course), and makes trimming and fine slicing a breeze. If it can handle "serious professional" cutting tasks, it will certainly excel at modest kitchen cutting.

Good sharp knife
A good razor sharp knife out of the box. Steel seems to hold a good edge. Only down side is the handle is quite short/small. The handle is 4 and 2/8 of an inch so if you have large hands they are hogging to hang over the end of the handle. I also got the spyderco santuku kitchen knife, it has full size handles.

The best all around kitchen
So far we think the length and size of this knife makes it the most versatile knife in the kitchen. We cut a lot of vegetables and some fruits, all the way to different kinds of meats. This knife appears to be thin enough to even fillet fish. Right out of the box it was razor sharp and ready to perform. I think it will be very hard to find a better knife for the money. Spiderco is the dang sure way to go.

Versatile
Love it, light and sharp and a very versatile size. Only complaint is that the handle could be 1/4-1/2” larger, I have large hands and it feels a tiny bit cramped. Smaller hands should fit perfect.
