I got the knife 15 years ago because it was tomato knife. I was so impressed by the sharpness that I immediately ordered me 6 pieces for everyday use. Now I have reappointed me 6 St., jaaaaa after 15 years, (Victorinox makes just about good knife). I have the old M. given my son, who was thrilled about it, because they still work perfectly. The dishwasher can not harm them. So I can only recommend the knife, she will be thrilled about every Victorinox knives.
