Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the kitchen knife. They mention that it comes razor sharp and holds an edge like crazy. The knife is small for their hands but is a good cutting knife. The blade geometry is such that cutting is intuitive and leaves no partially-cut food. It really sliced everything up like butter and makes short work of slicing and dicing of both meats and veggies.
