The knife sits well in the hand and is very sharp. However, the focus can very quickly and you have to grind the knife again. Since I'm used to from the brand otherwise. If it is whetted again, it cuts like a razor blade, the material of the blade is good and it does not slip out of the book, which is very important to me. Have bought a knife with a serrated surface. This performs better and the blade is not dull to now (5 weeks). This is clearly the better choice.
