This knife is a winner. For $150, you'll be hard pressed to find such a great steel on a blade this length. Lots of great features - knuckle clearance for days, great height for scooping, rounded spine for comfort, and bellied up just enough that I'm getting stubbed. That doesn't even touch on how fun the knife is to use - light, thin, agile...makes prep around the kitchen a lot of fun. To echo Roger, my only complaint is the factory edge. This was my first time sharpening CM 154, and it took a great edge. I cut a more acute bevel and finished it on a suehiro rika 5k + stropping...wicked sharp. Don't miss out on this knife. It's a great deal and a lot of fun.
