I bought this knife for its carbon steel blade, which should retain its sharpness better than stainless steel knives. The knife arrived with a very sharp blade; its handle is a comfortable shape. However, the knife is very light in weight, which makes it feel unsubstantial. I admit that, because it's a paring knife, functionally it probably doesn't need to be heavier. Still, I'd perceive the Dexter-Russell as a higher quality tool if it had more heft.
In fairness I should include also my wife's opinion: "I love the knife--it's so sharp." She notices the light weight, but it doesn't bother her.
