Beautiful

Excellent blade and great cuts. The bread knife is pricey but worth the price. I really enjoy cutting anything that requires a serrated knife edge.

Poorly finished cutting edge

I returned the knife because the blade edge was poorly sharpened. The serrated edge had some flattened teeth and there was an obvious burr along the edge. Evidently a replacement will be sent under a warranty claim so we will see if it’s properly sharpened this time.
