I tried another cheap but nice looking knife. Amazon has this same knife under a dozen brand names all at different prices between $20-40. It's probably worth the $25 i paid for it but not much more. It feels great in my hand but it just isnt very comfortable for slicing or chopping because of the way the blade tapers up at the back near the handle vs just being flat like other knives. Avoid this one and its rebranded cousins.

This Mercer is fantastic. I use this one the most now.
