Great Budget Premium Knife

The handle is a phenomenal and comfortable shape, with great balance, making the blade feel weightless in the hand. The etched Damascus steel looks amazing, and the whole package seems to be sturdy, but not bulky.

5.5 Inch version prep knife

These knives are some of the best I have ever used and I have had many German and Japanese knives. I I have the 5.5 inch version of this which isn't on the website but I must say is perfectly sized and cuts everything I need with precision. the handle feels nice in the hand the the craft of the blade is perfect.
