@e30Birdy Nice to hear that you think it is such a great cutter. My reference to performance (which is probably the wrong word to use), was the height of the blade towards the tip, and the ability, with even the large set of paws on me called hands, to slip the blade between my thumb and fingers, along with just general cutting. The bullnose typically does not pass through food as nicely on the ones I own. Very interested to see how things work out. Always nice to have short shipping times, but it doesn't really matter much to me, as long as I have knowledge of an approximate time of arrival.
