I got the other one, because I figured I’ll leave symmetrical one to the correct hand challenged if they have an inkling to try this. The knife is made very well. Great fit and finish, balance, profile. The grind is on point. I don’t know if mine would cut as well without an edge, but the edge it came with is amazing, I am not even sure if I have the skill to make it this sharp once it dulls, but I am looking forward to giving it a shot. The edge is very aggressive it cuts tomatoes like crazy. Regardless of the steel the knife is very well made, this steel though makes it so much more interesting.
