Beautiful but dull
In my past experience purchase money chef knives. I've have been a chef for many years. I have had much less expensive knives that had a much better edge. Something is beautiful should also be able to perform right out of the box. Love the looks but unhappy with its performance. I never sharpen my knives on a stone I keep them pristine I usually just steal them and occasionally a slight sharpening I've had knives for 20 years used at least once a week that are sharper. No disrespect I'm sure once it's sharpened it will be amazing. Don't let my experience deter you from this purchase it is a showpiece
