Amazon doesn't let me put in separate reviews of different knives so, i'm updating this. I ordered the scimitar along with the bull nosed knife as I knew I needed a longer, stronger, heavier knife, but I wasn't sure about which shape, would best fill my needs. Who doesn't want a Scimitar? I have never used one of these before, so I am learning which tasks it excels at, but taking rinds off melons is one! It is a beautiful knife, feels good in the hand, and is very sharp. I am certain I will find this will fill many gaps in my carving/cutting/chopping tasks as I learn to use it. The price point on these knives is something I can gamble on a new, potentially very useful tool. The bull nosed butcher knife is my new favorite knife. My Dad had one that I used growing up, but I had forgotten just how useful this size and weight of knife is. I bought it thinking primarily to use it with large pieces of meat - for cutting and shaping roasts, brisket, and the like, but now that it is in my kitchen, I also use it on large fruits & vegetables - pumpkins, watermelons, pineapples, cabbages - this knife makes preparing them a dream, so easy - this knife floats through what used to be daunting chopping tasks. I just wish I hadn't waited so long! The only "meh" is that the back tip of the bull-nose is not sharpened, so it can't be used to flick through membranes and tendons with that back point edge. I will be consulting with a knife sharpener professional to see if that can be done. Given my experience with these first two knives, I decided to upgrade my knifes and have now replaced most of my older knives with this line. I love the substantial handles - which make gripping easier in my large hands - and the wonderful balance these have. They are sharp, and seem to be holding the edges well so far. I am very impressed with the quality. These are all heavier, more substantial knives than their counterparts in my previous knife accumulation, and far superior at their tasks, so the main knife I'm hanging onto of the older ones is a chef's knife from cooking school. I like this new chef's knife, it is great for most chopping but it does not slice tomatoes with the ease my older - much thinner and lighter - chef's knife does. I wish there was a bird's beak pairing knife. They come in beautiful boxes, so they can make lovely gifts. If you have larger hands, or simply prefer substantial knives and want to upgrade the quality of your mishmash collection of knives, but aren't yet willing to shell out for a professional set that can be thousands of dollars, these are a wonderful step up. Very happy with my new knife collection.

On first impressions the knife is very good and extremely sharp. I just hope it keeps its edge but only time will tell .

Liegt gut in der Hand. Und ist super scharf
