The itself is not bad seems a little generic but overall useable. I would recommend if you buy this knife you have knowledge and or experience in sharpening knives because this knife is sharp 5 of 10 sharpness level but a little honing your self makes it much better to use.

Having seen these knives going for as much as many hundreds of dollars, I was glad that someone made a similar product for those of us who can't afford to spend hundreds on one knife. On the positive side, other than the price, is the construction of the blade. Mine was sharpended flawlessly, sharpened only on one side (as is proper), and nicely proportioned. As a neutral matter...the holes seem a bit "gimmicky" to me. I have never had a problem with knives without the holes not sliding easily in a cut, unless they were dull. And, the holes may leave a place for food to build up un-noticed. On the negative side, the wood handle should be finished with a dull finish...it appears to be completely unfinished. (Either glossy finish, or no finish, is a problem with knives.) Also, the black ferrule looks cheap somehow. But, again, for the price, I am happy with the purchase.
