    This knife has a great feel to it. It’s well-balanced and sharp, making meal prep much easier and more enjoyable. The blade is precise and cuts through a variety of ingredients with ease, though I’ve noticed that it does require regular honing to keep its edge.

Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that I’m happy to have in my kitchen.
