I have been looking for a serrated knife to replace one that was no longer sharp and wasn't worth trying to sharpen. I happened to see this one favorably reviewed in the Cooks Illustrated magazine and thought I would give it a try.I am by no means an expert with knives, but I do know works and doesn't work for me. This knife has quickly become one of my favorites. I have used it to cut bread, softer foods like tomatoes, and to carve turkeys; the knife has made quick work of all of them. I particularly like the offset handle so that my knuckles aren't rubbing against the cutting board at the end. This and my chef's knife are the only ones I have been using lately. Good knives can be very expensive but I think this one is moderately priced at $50.
There are two things that I would change however; the first is that I would prefer the knife to not have a wooden handle -that's a personal preference because I prefer to put the knives in the dishwasher. The second is that I would have liked the blade to be a little more substantial. This company does offer these options at a higher price.
Overall I am pleased with the performance and the value of the knife.
