First a little background. I have always been interested in cutting utensils; own tons of pocket and hunting knives so a few months ago decided to upgrade the kitchen cutlery from a Sabatier starter set.
Kicked off with a Farberware 23 piece classic forged set. From there have added knives from Anolon (a 9 piece set and Santoku), Calphalon (Katanta), Henckels, Sabatier, and Wusthof. Also bought a Waring electric knife sharpner so I did not have to Lansky when steeling did not bring back the edge. I mean anything worth doing is worth overdoing. The only knife I wanted to add I did not have was a 10 inch chef.
Looked around and decided to try the Mundial. The granton edge Future at Amazon was easily the best price anywhere on a forged 10 inch chef (even less than most stamped) and since I did not have a metal handled knife this was easy choice.
When I unpacked was literally "love at first sight". Balance was just right, handle felt great, edge was extremely sharp and smooth, blade had a nice bell ring and over-all appearance was in a word awesome. Makes you want to slice, dice, cut, carve, puree and peel.
Probably best said quoiting a surgeon friend of mine who is no stranger to a cutting instrument; this is an awesome piece of steel just makes you want to go out kill a deer and start processing. Sorry to some folks but to a lot of us PETA is people eating tasty animals.
In summation the best looking, feeling and handling kitchen knife I own.
