One thing is different this ceramic knives from others ... it's sexy! From the packaging to the noble dark shimmering blade and the rubberized grip - I love its feel. It is similar sharp and endure as our Gräwe knives - still we discuss cooking together often who can use the Feinzer. If I were not so superstitious I had this knife away Christmas to all my family, but I soon buy just one more thing - just about the house to preserve peace :)
