The knife cuts are bread so smoothly. The bread does not moosh down at all. Worth every penny, dime and quarter. We only buys things that have a positive impact to our lives. This knife fits the bill.

This is the best knife I have ever used. I had never tried an offset shaped knife and I'm so glad I tried it out.

I bought a knife a year ago and paid a lot of money for it and was very unhappy with it, it never felt right in my hand, when I saw this knife it looked different with the off set handle and wanted to try it, the second I took it out of its cool packaging, it felt right in my hand, it is weighted well and the spine goes all the way through the handle and it cuts wonderfully smooth. I was showing it off to anyone who would listen (after all they heard me b*+%!! about the other) and they were happy to hear I was was pleased, my son was the first to inspect it and he thought it was the best knife he ever held. I know its the same for me!
