Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A superb example of excellent craftsmanship with 67 layered Damascus forged steel. This Chef Knife is perfectly balanced and conforms to my small hands. It's obvious a lot of thought was put into the formation of not only the blade but the handle with it's heavy duty metal center and thick metal rivets which are flush to the handle surface. I love the dicing action of this particular knife and works well with a semi blade grip for primarily chopping but slicing too! This is not a blade for the casual one or two nights a week cook. It deserves a person who cooks with passion and know his/her way around a blade. I'm not a professional cook myself but I cook with passion every night and adore my new addition to my current blades. I own several high quality german chef knives but this one is by far superior. My only advice would be to hand clean with cool water and light soap then hand dry completely. After every use lightly oil to keep from erosion/rusting. If you live on the coast where theirs a lot of salt in the air make sure you store it someplace where it's protected from the air. The case it came with should suffice. I like to sharpen her with my wet stone after every use. I'll take some pictures and upload them to this review soon. Portland, Maine
