Grace C. ★★★★★

I was a little skeptical about the sandblasted frosted finish, but it actually gives a great grip even when my hands are oily. The D3 diamond-detailed edge has stayed sharp through a whole week of meal prep, which is way better than my last knife.

Abigail A. ★★★★★

The frosted sandblasted finish on this blade is gorgeous in person and doesn’t show fingerprints, which is a big win for me. The 9cr18mov steel took an edge right out of the box and the D3 diamond detailing makes mincing garlic feel effortless.

Lily ★★★★★

I’ve had mine for two weeks and the 5-layer 9CR18MOV steel holds an edge way longer than my old knife, even after heavy prep sessions. The D3TM diamond detailing makes the first cut through a tomato feel almost effortless, and the frosted finish doesn’t show fingerprints at all.
