Decent but far from great:
I have used this knife on a number of occasions and every time I ask myself what is the big deal? America's Test Kitchen has a very inconsistent philosophy.

Great knife!:
I bought this knife on the recommendation from America's Test Kitchen. I'm very pleased with the balance and feel of it.

I haven't had it very long so it's a bit early to tell how well it holds it's edge. I like it better than my very expensive Cutco knife of the same size. The price is very reasonable and the product is a very good value.
Great kitchen knife:
This knife has served me very well.
It's incredibly cheap but it cuts through things quite nicely.
There is no reason not to get it unless you are a high end user who likes to spend money on expensive kitchen knives.
Greatest knives:
These are the greatest knives - and price is good, too! Will probably never buy another brand again. Service was very good.
