I fall somewhere between the other two reviewers. It's not the sharpest knife ever (or if you make it really sharp, it won't hold its edge very long), but its still pretty good for the price point, and good enough for the tasks I put to it (mostly dismembering fruits and some veggies).

While I got this knife as a gif and I don't know if it was bought at Amazon, nonetheless, I thought that a review would be helpful to potential buyers. The knife is well made and well balanced, holds its edge well, and does not stain easily. I recommend it for smaller cooking jobs where a chef's 6 or 8 inch knife would be an overkill. I also own other Calphalon's knives such as 8 inch cooking knife and like them a lot.

This is a sharp knife, and great for peeling. However, some would not like it because it cannot be washed in the dishwasher. Must hand wash and dry after use.
