Perfect home knife
"I wanted to wait until the first sharpening to post this review, however it's been about a month now of daily use. It's getting close to needing a sharpening but I'm surprised at how good the edge retention is on this blade. If you're worried about a 10" blade for home use and think it might be too much, let me dispel that now. This knife feels great in the hand, well balanced, and plows through any prep work you've got at home. To start, it's a beautiful tool. The handle looks beautiful and really makes you want to use it more. The blade profile is very modern, some belly but nowhere near what European profiles used to look like. And no bolster?! It's wonderful. The blade has a good weight to it and it feels dexterous at the top and just meaty enough toward the handle. Even at 10" it is still light enough to make excellent use of the tip. I'll update this after sharpening."
