Brittle

It was very sharp and worked well but it’s too brittle. It Chipped week 2 after purchase. Very disappointed. But the knife is beautiful, but too delicate for everyday cooking.

Excellent Fit & Finish but Thick & Brittle

I'll start with the good and say the fit and finish on this knife is amazing. Everything is exceptionally well crafted and the hammered finish is beautiful. Unfortunately the blade is so brittle the tip chipped off after my very first use...pretty bummed about that. It wasn't super sharp out of the box, but after sharpening it myself I'm very happy with the edge. The spine is also a little thick for me.

Amazing knife!

Awesome knife! The sharp out of the box and just amazing steel! And just take a little care with it and it will serve you very well

A great knife, but

This is a fantastic looking knife. Sharpness out of the box is not great but usable. Very thin behind the edge and has a great profile. My only issue with the knife is the length. I bought a 240 mm, But i measured just a touch over 220. Could just be my unit though. Great knife nonetheless.

Regarding the sharpness, actually some craftsmen opt not to have the blade sharpened to the extreme, because they rather leave an option for customers to sharpen the edge to the sharpness they prefer - not everyone prefer having their knives razor sharp. What’s important for a sleek cutting performance is the steel quality and the edge geometry (tapering) instead - you can have a knife with a very sharp edge but cuts terribly.

Great knife over all.
Feels great in the hand, cuts very smoothly and has good rocking action if that's your thing.
wasn't the sharpest knife I have ever used, but a couple strokes on my 5000 grit, brought it to greatness.
aesthetically pleasing
