Happy.
My son was over the moon when I gave this knife to him for his birthday. He is a chef and about to go and explore the world a bit. According to my chef son and his chef friends these are the best knives in the world.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Amazing!!
Aside from being a beautiful piece of steel, this is the most competent knife I have ever owned. Amazingly sharp and perfectly weighted. Get some whetstones and a honing rod to keep this beauty razor sharp.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
