It has heft. It cuts through chickens like they were budda. I love this tool. The weight feels well balanced. I can tell it's going to be an heirloom piece my grandkids will be able to use.

It is made very well. I've been wanting this particular one along with the pairing knife. I already own the 8 in.

Not sharp at all. I will have to buy a sharpenner.

This knife is a nice size with a solid handle. It easily slices through bones. I also love how it slices off large cuts of meat like shanks. Look forward to trying it on items like coconuts, etc. Love it!

We purchased a block and a complete set of knives one week ago. There is what appears to be rust marks on multiple knives already. We have a complete set of your knives including a block at our summer home which was purchased one year ago, with no issues. What can be done about these imperfections. Thank you
