Wowza, this is one sharp knife for your kitchen. Cut through everything I threw at it like a hot knife through butter. Insanely thin slices were a breeze. Be warned, this is an extremely sharp knife! I cut myself twice in three days. Minor nicks, one drew a small amount of blood. I was not paying attention to how close my finger was to the edge of the lettuce. I learned to go slow and careful.
