I purchased this knife

"I purchased this knife in 2023, I was very sharp and did the job for it's intended purpose well. I noticed that the tip had a Burr on both sides ( I never checked it out when I received it and I care for all my knives very well, wand wash etc. I contacted Dalstrong on Saturday afternoon and explained the situation ( I was out of the 70 day Return warranty period for about a month) Jesus from Dalstrong replied within 5 minutes and requested additional pictures after sending them, he said"" we want our customers to be 100% satisfied and shipped me a replacement which arrived today (1. 5 Days !)I have been a Henkels guy for many years and this is the fourth Dalstrong Knife I have purchased and I am VERY impressed with the product and more impressed with the level of Customer Service. I am certain I will add more Dalstrong Knives to my Cooking arsenal in the future!!I Highly RecommendKenny SAtascocita, Texas"
