Excellent value. A very sharp, out of the box ready to use knife. Wash it and cut. Cheese can sometimes be a sticky cut but this knife cuts and no sticking cheese. The weight of the knife makes cutting a breeze. My wife is impressed with this knife and believe me, if my wife is impressed, yours will be too. A beautiful, great valued and sharp knife with a handle your hand seems to grip to while cutting. Very happy with it.

Was worried that the knife would be "too good to be true" for the price, but for this price you can't beat it. It looks beautiful and it comes pretty dang sharp. I am unsure why the 1 star comments say what they do. It is well balanced (can balance on finger between the start of the handle and the blade where it should be). My only complaint may be that the knife might be a tiny bit too light so you may need to be careful not to fracture the blade; however, that can be said about many knives that cost 200$ or more. I have worked with high quality knives since I was 12, and for the price this is a fantastic knife for any home cook. If you know how to properly maintain a knife I can see this one lasting someone a long time.

VERY SHARP. It's not just about appearance with this knife. I didn't expect it to slice straight through the Amazon packaging like that. That's good quality sharpness. Although, I'm aware that you can just buy a knife sharpener for knives, this knife itself boasts very precise sharpness right out of the package! No need to pre-sharpen the knife itself for the next week or two. So it's ready to chop at a much more accurate precision and degree without needing a pre-sharpen first. I am very impressed with the construction of the handle itself, it has a nice smooth feel and weight to it as you hold it. I can feel comfortability while slicing vegetables or meats with this knife. I don't know how long this will last but I'm hoping that it can outlast quite a while. It looks like it's a high grade knife for a reasonable price.
