Isn't there anything this knife can't do??!!! : )

I've purchased one, not knowing exactly what expectations were to tell you the truth. Unlike deba, this is rather light-weighted, but man, let me tell ya, it processes fish clean, easy and very effortlessly. It is probably because the weight center is up front, that make the knife feel a lot heavier when holding it, and also the height of blade gets wider as approaching the front. As you cut into fish, this knife finishes the job before you even start. That's how it feels like. Very eerily yet fantastic. I tend to like using a light-weighted knife on a lot of things. It gives you better sense what you doing (and what you doing wrong too). Once you bond with it, you can never go back to heavier ones. It would seem very dull in vibe and masks the detail feel of what it's touching. Oh, geez. Try veggie. I could give you the whole new set of goodies about how well it cut them. Well, I could go on and on. I guess you would have to try it yourself to see it validates my awe.
