Chloe D. ★★★★★

I’ve had this knife for three weeks and the 8-12° edge is still slicing through tomatoes like they’re butter, no wobble or drag. The blade feels incredibly balanced in hand, and the hyper steel takes a shine that makes me actually want to cook more.

Olivia ★★★★★

The nitrogen-hardened steel holds its edge through a full week of meal prep without me reaching for the honing rod, which my old knife never managed. The 8-12° sharpening angle makes it glide through tomatoes like they're butter, though I'll admit I'm extra careful when washing it because that edge

Daniel I. ★★★★★

Took it out of the box and the edge caught the light in a way my old knives never did—that 8-12° sharpening is no joke. Sliced through a ripe tomato with zero pressure and the handle felt balanced the whole time. This nitrogen-treated steel stays scary sharp after a week of dinner prep.
