This knife,like all knives from this series,has great steel combined with great geometry at a very affordable price. What more can you ask for. The 120mm petty is a super thin knife that has virtually taken over all of my small cutting tasks. I even use it to break down poultry and fish when i am too lazy to get a more appropriate knife. The edge gets super sharp and stays that way for a very very long time. And sharpening it up again is very easy. Gotta love carbon. But the best thing about this knife is that it has stainless cladding. You get all of the benefits of a carbon knife with half of the work. What more could you ask for? Did i mention this is an incredible value?
