Excellent
This is a great knife. I really like the Kiritsuke shape--mostly straight along the length of the blade for chopping and pull/push cutting but with a very useful point at the tip for delicate work. This knife is very well balanced and the perfect weight, and it's very sharp. Plus, I happen to really go for the DLC coating. I encountered this first with the Wusthof Performer knife series, which I also enjoy using. For me this is just an excellent knife at a very fair price.
