    Seems to me that if it ticks all the boxes for you then that’s the knife you should get. If you’ve not owned this style of knife or if you’ve not owned one made of non-stainless steel then you’ll have to accept that this knife, at this price, will be part of your learning curve. Some people feel more comfortable buying a less expensive knife that’s a little bit more forgiving in terms of abuse or even just figuring out if that’s the right knife for them. Learn with the cheap one so that you know for sure you want the expensive one is a valid option. However if you had that experience already then buy the knife that fills you with joy and go forth and chop a lot of vegetables! 🥰

      And if you’re worried you’re going to pick the wrong one I get ripped off I would say avoid anything that you see on Instagram or Facebook or any mid-article advert.
