This is quite a big knife but with a nice thin convex edge it is a great all rounder, handling delicate tasks with control, as well as bulk dicing of larger foods. The wide blade is great for transferring chopped food to the pan while the pinch grip handle offers excellent control.

80crv2 is a tough steel so you don’t have to be too worried about chipping it despite the thin edge although high quality knives should always be treated with respect. Like most carbon steels, it is easy to sharpen and keep a hair-popping edge.
