This knife was a bit of a shock when I received it, because when I opened the box... there is was. Just wrapped in bubble-wrap. I was sort-of expecting a better cover for it other than the little plastic thing that came with it. It was as thick as the good plastic wrap you use to preserve food. I ended up buying a case for it.
Other than the packaging (no fault of the knife itself for being packaged that way, so I won't take it out on its rating) the knife is probably the best knife I've ever handled. The grip on the handle is perfect. Even when wet, you don't feel like it's going to get away from you. The edge on it is fantastic, it just cuts through everything like butter. Just 3 days ago I cut apart a few chickens in no time. I didn't have to go over any section or piece twice to get it to cut.
Overall once you get this knife in your hands you can tell that it's built quite well. The weight balance is good, and the edge is razor sharp. There is not much else to say that I will continue to buy Victorinox branded knives from now on. If they all have the same sharpness as this one and just as good quality feel; they have won me over as a life-long customer.
