Expert Reviews


What experts liked

The handle and blade are designed to withstand any unexpected texture that it will be exposed to. Exercise caution when using the knife as it is very sharp. The extreme force of the knife will result in random injury if caution is not practiced.

What experts didn't like

Not as sharp or sturdy.
