I have thrilled the knife for nearly a year in use and am still. It fits comfortably in your hand, is very sharp and makes visually something forth. The Micarta handle is hygienic and fits with its "grain" excellent for Damascus steel blade. From the sharpness and a processing perspective, it is for my much more expensive Kasumi knife in anything.
The elegant black box, in which the knife is delivered, I did not need though. Makes you feel very good if you want to give away the knife.
