The tip is excellent for fine detail work on vegetables and fruit and has made it one of the knives in my top daily rotation. The packaging is incredible work of art of its own! The stainless steel finish prevents rust and patina from forming. I do not recommend putting this in the dishwasher! I Purchased during the before Christmas sale at a great value for my money. The knife arrived very sharp and holds an edge well. When sharpening this knife it is best suited to use high quality ceramic whetstones & diamond plates. On my first sharpening I was able to apply such an edge that really bumping my skin accidentally resulted in an injury. At 210 mm it is a great size for most kitchen tasks. Meat, chicken, vegetables and fruit are all game for this knife. Update - 6 months of near daily use, I had a small issue with edge chipping, a few strokes a the 5000 grit ceramic whetstone brought back a clean edge with little effort. The core steel is typical of this style knife and is very hard. I estimate 62+ HRC. Still very happy with this knife and use it daily. I do suspect this is manufactured in China and not in Japan as implied. Still it is a high quality knife worth the money when purchased on sale under $100. Review: Knife - Amazing knife.
