Title: Beautiful knife, long story
Review: Apologies to Amazon, but I got this knife new from an on-line auction (for 30 bucks) and here's the story. When I received it it had a noticeable wire edge on one side of the blade. (if you don't know the term, this results from the knife being over sharpened on one side) I spent a good 15 minutes with my Smiths sharpening system (check that out too) and achieved a superb edge.Now, the knife feels great in my hand and is outrageously useful. Good as a paring knife, I use it to make salads. It slices tomatoes, onions, carrots and peppers flawlessly. Works fine as a boning knife, makes a great steak knife, It's beautifully balanced, nice to look at, and my experience with Wusthof leads me to believe that it will hold its edge and last a long long time.If you have several knives, you'll still reach for this one often. If you only have a couple of good knives, this is one of the best to have.
