She absolutely loved it, used it all day and her sister is in love with it also, as well as others that a few have Shiny $500 knives, they said it actually out performed there $$$ chef knives
Lisa gave very strict usage and care instructions to everyone that basically said use here on this, with this and I will clean it
She has two more smaller ones coming to match patena and wood for valentines day, basically a paring and carver.
Told him to make them look like they were made by same Smith in same style, from same shop
Thank you for the heads up! Great guy to talk with!
I will be checking out the other Smith and another one from here locally this coming year, to see what they can offer.
To support local talent.
I highly recommend him for what he did for me.
I will update in a month or so
On the edit: they were very impressed with edge retention, after all day cutting and chopping, it sliced through rip red tomatoes with just the wt of it...two ?? ??
