Carter D. ★★★★★

This S35VN steel takes a beating in my kitchen and still glides through tomatoes like they're butter. The dark coating hides the patina of heavy use, and the 9.5" length feels perfectly balanced for both chopping and finer work.

Hannah R. ★★★★★

The DLC coating on this blade has held up flawlessly through a month of daily prepping, and the 8-12° edge still glides through tomatoes like they're butter. That S35VN steel keeps a razor edge way longer than any German knife I've used before, so I'm not reaching for the honing rod every single day

Hannah Y. ★★★★★

This blade took an edge after the D3 diamond sharpening and held it through a whole week of meal prep without a single touch-up. The DLC coating really does keep food from sticking, which makes slicing through tomatoes feel almost unfair.
