“Love the knife I just moved to a new house and I haven’t unpacked any other knives yet so this knife came in really handy. Plus, it’s super sharp. It’s got the right weight feels good in your hand. Don’t let your fingers get in the way!”

“I love this knife. At first I was intimidated by the size but I quickly became very comfortable with it. It has almost entirely replaced my chef’s knife I like the wide cleaver style blade foI like the leather sheath it comes with too.”
