It's not only a great looking knife, it's incredibly sharp....our veggies don't stand a chance against this knife. It's a bit on the heavier side, which I personally like. My wife prefers something a little lighter, your mileage may vary. It's sharp Holds an edge for a long time, ours is still going strong after using it multiple times each week. Feels comfortable in my hand and chopping veggies isn't a chore anymore. For cleaning, we hand wash and dry right away. Keeps the knife looking brand new. The price at the time of the review was £99 which isn't bad for a quality knife.
