Poorly finished cutting edge

I returned the knife because the blade edge was poorly sharpened. The serrated edge had some flattened teeth and there was an obvious burr along the edge. Evidently a replacement will be sent under a warranty claim so we will see if it’s properly sharpened this time.

Super sharp knife

I love this bread knife! I can’t believe how well this knife cuts through my Italian bread, without tearing it up. This knife is so sleek and sharp. It exceeds my expectations!

One use and I’m in love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife cut through my crusty hard sourdough like it was butter. I’m in disbelief.
