I was super excited to use this knife, I used it the first time and LOVED it. It cut so precisely! By about the third time I used it I noticed the cut wasn't as clean and it didn't glide through as easily. This knife is now at the end of my knife block waiting to be sharpened to use again because it went dull faster than any knife I have ever owned, we will see how well it works once it is sharpened again.
