Knife is looking good and fits in hand easily.
sharpness is decent but not razor sharp.
Definitely value for money!

Had both mentioned in above link. Not worth half of the price listed.

the objective is more important brother, the other day i had a tough time culling a chicken because the blade i carried was semi serrated, the same blade was good for me for chopping veggies and cutting plastic .

Buying a chinese knife is a gamble. You might score a nice knife for a decent price but it might turn out to be junk. There are cheap foreign brands like byrd. The best thing to do is to order it via a friend coming from US.

Hi Scorpking,

Good knives for beginners. However, let me tell you one thing. If you want to advance to level 2 in 'Knifology' then buy victorinox next.
There's nothing black or white in the world. There are just shades of gray.
