Honestly, way sharper than I expected. I've been using it for a month now and haven't had to hone it yet. The handle fits my hand well, but the real highlight is the Damascus pattern—looks even better in person. Shipping was fast, too.

Beautiful knife. It struggled a tiny bit with a super hard butternut squash, but for everything else (onions, steak, etc.) it's like a razor. I actually love the little ring that came with it, nice touch! The sheath is stiff at first but breaks in.

I collect custom knives and the integral bolster on this one is top tier. The fit and finish are perfect. I got my name engraved and it looks clean, not cheap. Definitely my new main knife for prep work.
