They aren't kidding--this thing is razor-sharp. It needed no tuning up before I used it for the first time. The handle is balanced so that one feels almost no weight... which is unfortunate, because I like the weight for chopping. But the hollow-edge design is wonderful--the mushrooms and onions I sliced up were thin as paper, and didn't stick to the blade. I'd recommend it.

Good balance - great for light-duty chopping and mincing where you want to be close to (or directly over) the blade for control. All claims about grippy foods not sticking to the blade are bunk - tomatoes (etc) stick like they do to any other non-dimpled blade. High quality metal. Recommended if you find your standard chef's knife lacking for control.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great knife to replace some knives in the kitchen, November 24, 2007

It is hard to say one brand is better than the other when all the brands have different variations of one type. I suggest buying the knife based on usage and how the handle suits you. Most of the high quality knives are similar in construction but the handles are different in each one. It is better to go with the handle you feel most comfortable with, I believe the grip is very important in terms of control.

A good suggestion is maintaining it using a high quality sharpener or taking it to be sharpened.

This knife can pretty much do anything, except slice bread, peel fruit, and act as a cleaver. Foods do stick to it when you chop, like others said, but it is still a good knife. You will still need other tools, but this knife can replace a few similar sized chef's knives you will not need anymore.
