"Awesome knife. Love the super light weight and feel."
— Valor W. (5/5)
Hell yea!
"It's Awesome"
— Justin J. (5/5)
Just Ok
"Sorry, I wanted to like it more but its flimsy. It tends to tilt and flex more than I would prefer when cutting cheese. I love the aesthetic and the lines and have or have bought several of the Custom Line Knives"
— Jeff S. (3/5)
Tomatoes, English cucumbers, ripe pears
"Tomatoes, English cucumbers, ripe pears any soft skinned vegetable or fruit is effortlessly sliced. Your eye/hand coordination is the limiting factor."
— Dennis E. (5/5)
