This knife is so nice that I feel reluctant to use it, but it's also priced so reasonably, that I can't help but use it at my earliest opportunity. They been making these for years by the thousands, and will continue to do so forever I would guess. It's truly a work of art in its simplicity and quality. By the way, it's sharp and strong. And it fits your hand like you were born to hold it. What more is there to say?
