It is aggressively sharp and it remains sharp for looooo…ng.
You almost miss noticing when the knife goes through the surface of what you are cutting.
It is an absolute pleasure (or even entertainment) to use this knife. You cut things just because it is fun. Very highly recommendable! It is well worth the money (I’d say it’s even cheap, if you look at what you get for the money).
As with everything I bought from epicedge.com, it was delivered well packed and very fast (4 days to my home in Sweden). Their service is excellent and in a class of its own!
1. Rusts/stains fast…I'm talking seconds
2. Can be chipped if dropped, hit or used wrong.
One of my prep cooks dropped it in the sink…no more tip.
Thank you for your review on www.epicedge.com. In your review, you noted two problems. The first was that the knife easily rusts or oxidizes. Blue steel #2 is a carbon steel, meaning that a patina is normal. Blue tones of oxidation will inhibit rust (and develop over the first few months of use). Red tones are the start of rust and should be avoided. The best way to avoid rust is to encourage blue tones of oxidation for the first few months by regularly using camellia oil. This can be ordered from our website and will make it much easier to maintain your knife.
It also sounds as though your knife was dropped and the tip damaged. While this can happen to any knife, it is not something that any of us like to see happen to ours. Knives purchased from www.epicedge.com have a free first time sharpening, during which we can fix the knife’s tip at no charge. You would only be responsible for return shipping. If you would like to take advantage of this free service, you may send the knife back to us at:

Please let me know if we can assist further.
BTW - I gave my 4* henckle set away, no going back!
The handle fit and finish is top notch, nothing to complain about there, the hammer finish on the blade is not only nice to look at but is functional as well, less food sticking and also increases grip, the knife sharpens up with relative ease and it takes a razor sharp edge. The edge retention is excellent, I only steeled it twice in a week and the edge was not far from what it had been, 20% sharpness loss in one week makes this knife a top performer, add on top of that the asthetics and it gets a top rating.
The service provided to me by the staff of Epicurean Edge is almost in a league of it's own, very helpful in working around problems, very polite as well.
