This is easily one of the best knife I have purchased. From the moment you get the box and see how nicely it is presented and packaged, right the way to ergonomics of the knife. It looked good when I saw it online, but when I got to use the knife, it exceeded my high expectations. Besides looking so professional and nice, the handle is a perfect size, and I love the size and shape of the 8 inch knife. The wooden handle is so nice - not only fits my hand well, but the wood is visually lovely. So pleased I purchased this knife.
