Good knife, just not for me.

I received this knife today, here are my impressions and thoughts. I love good instruments. I need them to earn a living and I've learned to have the best tool for the task at hand. I don't work with knives, but the premise is the same. Like any tool, it has to be used for a specific purpose. I intended to use it as a utility knife for butchering and butchering. The large, flat blade is perfect for picking up and moving veggies after they're cut, as well as slicing perfect coins or ribbons when I want that. In theory. It can work well, but I think this knife is more like a cleaver due to its weight. It's heavy, and I could see someone (me) tire easily when it comes to preparing a full meal. The balance is off and the proportions in general seem odd, which is what appeals to me about this knife. If it were a large rectangular hatchet I would understand its weight. But with a tapered end, this knife is meant to handle delicate tasks, like removing the core from a tomato and then slicing it into nice cubes. Or shave those chunks off a clove of garlic and maybe a cucumber. But its weight takes away confidence in slicing and slicing, leaving it for grittier tasks like butchering an already dead chicken thigh. The handle might need an extra 1/2 inch length for my XL gloves, and the thick, heavy blade makes it very front. heavy, which is good if you want to carry the weight while splitting. Not great if you want to slice and dice with balance and ease. In short, it will make you work for the result. I did not want. a willing partner in the tool, not a mule stubbornly led from task to task. I went for the price, but I'll spend a little more for a better blade with a better overall balance. for chopping and preparing tasks and leave them for sharing. I think she could be great for this task for someone with average hands.
