Lately, I've noticed that certain knives have been displaying signs of becoming dull. It's been quite frustrating because I've been experiencing one problem after another with my knives. Eventually, I discovered that the chef in my kitchen had mistakenly been using my these knives. As I mentioned earlier, this particular knife boasts exceptional durability, and its handle's ergonomic design offers great flexibility, enabling effortless cutting of a variety of foods.Therefore, my advice to anyone in need is to exercise caution when using their knives. Regardless of a knife's quality or its impressive toughness, it should never be treated as an axe. That's definitely not its intended purpose, after all! Lol.------------------------------------------------------------Since I own my own restaurant, we have our own standards and requirements for knives. When I saw this knife and its reviews, I eagerly purchased it with high expectations.They claimed that this knife is made of high-quality 73-layer Damascus steel, with excellent toughness and even after frequent daily use, it maintains a sharp edge like a razor for a long time. Undeniably, everything was great when we first started using it, but unfortunately, my chef found that the knife became dull after a while, even shortly after sharpening. I really don't think a $139 knife should perform so poorly.Overall, it's definitely not worth recommending as the price and quality of the product are not proportional. I'm very disappointed!
