This knife feels great in the hand and arrives very sharp.I am not sure what is the point of the layers of Damascene.The last half inch before the edge is presumably is where the action takes place and it is good, old-fashioned clear stainless.The Damascene pattern is certainly attractive.
Despite report you may have heard to the contrary, the edge of the blade is not straight like a Santoku knife.It curves, more-or-less the same amount as a Henckels chef knife.Having said that, I guess if you are a die-hard chopper you might prefer a big belly Wusthof.
The bolster is very unobtrusive, which I like.The handle is comfortable and tilts up a little, sort of like the Global knives but less extreme.
Did I already say this knife arrives very sharp.Right out of the box you can cut through the stem of a banana almost as if it was celery.Don't let your 8-year old use this knife for cutting frozen bagels ;)
All-in-all it is a really nice knife that I would use all the time if my wife had not taken such a posessive interest in it.
