I am dating a chef at a fine dining seafood and steak restaurant and he had mentioned that he needed a fillet knife so I got on line and with the help of these great reviews I chose this one. He was very surprised and happy when it shipped to the restaurant. He said that I could not have done any better, that guys he has worked with would try and carve their knifes to look like this one. It is a very sexy knife and gets right under the skin. Anyway, one of the servers comes in the kitchen, sees the knife and runs his finger down the blade lightly to test the sharpness and it nearly cut his finger off. All the way into the bone! Yes he had to get stitches. Thus comes my title, this knife is for big boys only. It is sharp! My chef loves it!
