Wonderful knife. This knife is arguably the most important knife in my kitchen, because it saves my other knives that do not react well to bones. This knife has a nice asymmetry to the grind and out of the box it looks like it is sharpened with a 70/30 Right/Left bias. The front two-thirds is incredible for close to bone work like when filleting fish, carving out intact poultry breasts, the back third slices through joint cartilage and fish ribs like they don't exist, basically the weight of the knife and the good edge do 90% of the work. Nice clean finish on the knife out of the box, and the bolstered handle gives a nice weight balance, still blade heavy, but not cleaver like which allows the tip to be fairly nimble for such a heavy piece of steel.
