This knife works as it should. I wouldnt use it to regularly chop through bones, but it had no issues cutting up chicken that was being prepared for grilling. The effort required for that job was minimal. See the attached video for more info and to see this knife in action. Giving this 5-stars mainly because it's inexpensive and worked as well as expected. There ARE way better knives out there, but at a much higher price point which is why this is still getting 5 stars.
