Great knife and the balance is pretty amazing. This knife cuts like a dream and is a pretty versatile knife. It can be used as a chefs knife and a meat cleaver.

The ease at which I am able to cut through layers of meat and/or slice a piece of meat like a tri tip is so amazing. I love this knife.

The whale is my favorite of your knives. Most universal and functional. A chefs knife and the bottle opener is a crowd pleaser!
