I was gifted this knife, and it is an investment for my cooking, I am satisfied with how smoothly it can cut in fruits and those harder root veggies (squash, sweet potato, etc) . Will be sticking with this brand from here on out!

Poor experience

Knife did not last, purchased this knife as a present and within a month of use it broke cutting vegetables. Knife does not hold up well to basic vegetables.

Amazing Knife- Super Sharp

I bought this knife as a gift for my wife, and she absolutely loves it. It's incredibly sharp right out of the box and works perfectly for cutting all kinds of ingredients — from veggies to meat. It’s well-balanced, comfortable to hold, and makes food prep quicker and more enjoyable. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality, all-purpose kitchen knife.
