"I really like this knife a lot. It cuts more like a japanese knife than any other german I have used. For the price with a full hollow grind I dont think any other german knife is near as compelling."

— Henry (5/5)

Great knife

"I really liked the feel and weight of the knife. I have smaller hands, but it is comfortable to use. Beautifully designed. Came sharp, but expected it to be a bitter sharper. Overall, very satisfied."
