Solid knife with a good feel. I got it as a freebie with the Chef's Knife, so the price was right for me, but I use it often and it has held up well.

I just received this knife yesterday & am sending it back for a refund. Upon first use, the forked metal tip broke off when I was chopping tomatoes for a salad. It took me a few moments to notice the lost tip (as it had ended up in the salad I was preparing.) Could have been very dangerous to swallow a sharp metal tip! The knife itself is flimsy, can't imagine that it could cut a bagel very well.

I bought this knife, and was thrilled to find that it was etched on the end for easy identification (I so frequently mistakenly identify my knives), but I was very disappointed to find that it in fact was unable to cut my bagels.

All I was able to cut with this knife were doughnuts (specifically, old-fashioned - jelly doughnuts, as everyone knows, must be cut using a cheese grater held at a 29.5 degree angle).

My recommendation? unless you have an abundance of old-fashioned doughnuts to cut you'd be better off buying a seagull knife. Unfortunately, most seagull knives are not notched, so you may find yourself inadvertently selecting a bowie knife, but either will be better at cutting bagels than this atrocity.
