Great all around knife

I love this small knife—surprisingly sturdy. Many knives this size have weak, easily damaged points, but this one feels solid and works great. I wanted to buy more for gifts, but the price has gone up.

Very nice knife

Nice handle, extremely sharp, well balances. Will likely use this instead of my chef knife for smaller prep work
