Without fun, the knife is delivered ultra sharp. Here no sharpening is required. Take a sheet of paper angles to it and the knife is such as butter through the paper.
Have the knife now have 2 weeks in the kitchen daily use and it's really fun and the snipping and cooking is easier on the hand. I can recommend this knife.
Previously had a more favorable Damascus for 20 euros and I was happy with it. But you have to honestly say this is not the same damask with damask knives.
Have fun with it
