What a surprise...
I really wasn't sure about this knife when I ordered it, but man, what a pleasant surprise. It felt so good in the hand...weighted almost perfectly. I had to use it right away and it was just as sharp as the one Chef Brandon used, straight out of the box. I couldn't be more pleased...so much so, that I ordered the matching gyuto!

Insane value for what you are getting.
Been using this almost daily since getting it in. Comes crazy sharp, haven't had to sharpen it yet only stropping it before every use. Great blade geometry, has 0 problems tap chopping onions and potatoes. Definitely looking forward on exploring the rest of the Zuma line up!
