Bought it as a gift, he loves it
Got this for my husband who cooks every night. The Damascus pattern is stunning and he says it glides.
Restaurant quality at home
I cook professionally and this holds an edge better than knives twice the price. Shipping was fast too.
Beautiful and built to last
The ebony handle feels solid in the hand and the blade is incredibly sharp. The packaging felt premium.
