“This is a gift, but I already know it will be wonderful. Purchased the 4 essential knives for my daughter and her husband last year, bought the sharpener in April and all are excellent. She has small hands and he has large, so the knives work for both of them due to the handle balance. When they were using the Suduko to cut a prime rib roast at Thanksgiving I knew what their Christmas gift would be. FYI - they actually take good care of these knives from washing to storage.”
