Pros: Low Cost / Excellent performance
Cons: very lightweight
I have plenty of more costly knives and I fought my knive-snobbery when I received this simple utilitarian knife as a gift some months ago. I love how sharp it is and how well the blade's sharpness has held up over time. Yes, the heft is quite light, but if you have a lot of small work to do, it won't tire your wrist. I find it works great for making a clean incision for deveining shrimp, as one example.
The cost can't be beat. Though mine was a gift, my local restaurant supply store has these at the checkout counter for only $5. Fancy cups of coffee are $5 now. Let's see: cup of coffee which is done in a few minutes vs. a knife you'll have for years. Skip a cup and buy one of these.
