This is a great knife for a cook who cares a lot about quality and blade design. It has the Japanese angle (which I believe is a 15 degree compared to German much more abrupt), so it is very very sharp. It's ready to use straight out of the box, but you might want to give it a rinse to get any packaging gunk off of it. It uses great steel, and I grew up using a lot of different hunting knives, so I care a lot about the quality and grade of steel that is used. This is a very light and well balanced knife as well. I highly recommend this knife if you want to break away from the heavier German knives.

As a Food Service professional I always need sharp knives in the kitchen with me. Whether it's cutting tomatoes or dicing raw sweet potatoes. It the best knife I've ever owned. My German knives can't top this and I've been using German steel for years.

I purchased this knife after a professional chef said it was the best knife he's ever used. I LOVE it!! They are perfectly balanced, light weight and beautiful to use. I also bought the boning knife and plan to add a few others in the near future. They are worth every cent of the purchase price.
