This is an amazing knife; it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I almost feel guilty using it in my kitchen, except that it does the job so well. Be warned, this is a fine steel product that requires careful handling -it is extremely sharp and light, so you have to pay attention to be sure you're not cutting something other than the food. It also needs to be cared for -washed by hand and thoroughly dried before putting it away. I don't find that a hardship, anymore than I'd mind caring for one of the beautiful fighting blades made for centuries by this company.
Having used this knife now for a few months I'd like to say that it cleans up easily even when left over the weekend. Sharpening is a delight as you just swipe one side on the stone. Smacking garlic with the back side of the blade does the trick to finish off skinning.
If your a professional just do it and get the big knife. But for home cutlery, this is the best there is.
One last thing. Slicing and cutting are one thing. But a knife does more. It picks up food that has been cut and transfers it to the cooking surface. Magic is in your hands when your do this task.
I am forbidden to cook my own food. Buddhist sutra! So I will come back, and do more work! I readily accept....Michael
