The edge from that 8-12° sharpening is unreal—first thing I did was slice a tomato paper-thin and it barely touched the skin. The S35VN steel holds it way longer than my old German knives, so I'm not reaching for the honing rod every week.

The DLC coating really makes a difference—even after a heavy prep session with tomatoes and citrus, the blade wipes clean with zero staining. The 8-12° edge from the factory was razor sharp out of the box, and it's held that bite through a week of daily veggie chopping.

The S35VN steel takes a screaming edge and the DLC coating makes cleanup absurdly easy—just a quick wipe and it's done. I've used it daily for two weeks and the 8-12° grind still glides through tomatoes like they're butter. That diamond detailing really shows in how effortlessly it slices.
