The right size and the action is easy enough and positive enough. The blade has stayed sharp through a week of cutting boxes, cutting sandwiches and the like. I’ve had them all and for the money this is one of the finest knives on the market . Puts to shame a lot of the old standards. Fit and finish are excellent.
