## Description

Slice and dice your way through piles of veggies or primal cuts of beef with this durable kitchen workhorse. It’s precision-forged form a single piece of high-carbon German Steel, then tempered and hand-ground for maximum sharpness. The full-tang handle features a grippy yet sleek wrap that provides a balanced, comfortable grip so you can cut with more confidence. With just the right amount of rock and gentle taper, this knife is perfect for both heavy chopping and fine slicing, making it a perfect all-purpose knife any way you slice it. Excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so dishwashers are not recommended. Do not allow blades to soak in water. Do not allow food to remain on blade after use, as this may cause stains. In most cases, persistent stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish. Use a sharpener and honing rod between uses to keep knives sharp. It’s recommended to use a whetstone or have your knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year. (See more sharpening instructions below.) To preserve sharp edges, use knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards will dull blades. Knives are not made to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. Love this knife and it will love you back. Use extreme caution to protect against injury. These knives are extremely sharp. Never use a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool. Never handle a knife by the blade. Keep sharp edges pointed away from you when laying a knife down. Never attempt to catch a falling knife. Keep all knives away from children. Store properly in a knife block, roll, or other safe place.

Review: 1 year of chopping, slicing and dicing - Right out of the box the weight and grip felt perfect in my palm(hold the knife like shown in image). The sharpness was a bit dull out of the box but after sharpening it with a whetstone it felt like a hot knife slicing through butter sharp. The quality is top notch and you can tell that by the sound of the blade when it's tapped. After a year of usage I could chop like a pro and I've decided to keep it till it lasts. If you are not careful enough it will slice your skin like a surgical knife and I've had few bad nicks in my finger because I wasn't careful enough. If you want a premium knife go for it, but make sure you have a whetstone to shapen it and not the cheap kind.
Review: Best knife - This is best for profesionals not for begeiners.keep away from children good looking well balanced etraordinary sharpness .must buy. i felt cost is just high.
