Review: Great knife! - I have now had this knife for over 6 years! I am very impressed with it and have grown to prefer it over my zwilling profession s (granted 8inch vs this one at 6inch). I am kind of a knife guy. Very impressed with the balance, weight, feel and cutting. I sharpen tools for my woodworking and this knife takes an edge very nicely on resharpening. For the money, its amazing in my opinion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect every day knife
*by J***Z on November 18, 2025*

Great go-to knife, nice weight and balance, commercial rated, very sharp, solid build.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Boning Knife.
*by C***T on December 30, 2025*

I purchased a 6-inch flexible boning knife and I must say I am very pleased with this knife. Blade was sharp and flexible. Grip is nice and the weight is perfect. I'm a woman in her seventies with arthritic hands and needed a good boning knife for carving up a deer hindquarter when I am fortunate enough to harvest one. This knife cut through the hindquarter like butter. I would highly recommend this product.
