Got mine, handwritten note, impeccably packaged and even wrapped in tissue. Customer service beyond what I was expecting.
Then I open the box...and pause. Oh my goodness, the polish and grind of the blade, the fit of the handle. Can this wonderous thing truly belong to me. Taking it out of the box I was stunned and how light and nimble it felt.
Is this what you guys are calling a lazer?
Went with the White #2 and immediately had to attack some carrots and onions. The knife was so light in my hand I was still surprised how little effort was needed to cut my veggies. Now, it will never replace my beloved Nakiri's, but damn! You could easily do a lot of prep all day without fatigue with this thing. I can easily see why a lot of guys say they love it in professional kitchens.
It's one of three knives currently out on the counter (ie - used so often it doesn't make it back into it's box - yea I really need those display stands). Thanks Jon for a very pleasurable knife!
