I ordered this specific

"I ordered this specific knife, but was sent the wrong knife. Dalstrong was really nice and tried to work with me on getting the correct knife but I think amazon is holding them up. Not sure though because I never got the knife I actually ordered. All the other products I ordered came in correct and were great."

This is a fun

"This is a fun knife to use. I use it mostly for smaller pieces of meat. Excellent at slicing and able to dice very small, super sharp. The G10 handle make this light and very easy to maneuver. It does cut vegetables very well, but I have a NAKIRI which I prefer for vegetables"
