I used a dull Cutco knife. The turning point came when I was cooking shrimp with grits and needed to dice the bacon, and Cutco reluctantly diced the bacon, but I got a nasty blister from gripping the knife so tightly trying to cut through all the fat. I had to buy a new knife. So I found Zelite and it had decent reviews. The real challenge for me was that I cut/dice regularly: 1) raw chicken 2) vegetables 3) bacon 1) raw chicken took quite a while to dice. . Now I can take a raw chicken breast and carefully slice it 3 times, then join the 3 pieces together and cut vertically for easy dicing. I'm amazed at what I've missed. This knife is amazingly sharp and the amount of cutting and slicing is now minimal. I really apply very little pressure and no "sawing" occurs. I just gently press and cut. 2) If he can chop raw chicken, he can definitely chop veggies. So far I've only had the option of dicing peppers. Again, applying only light pressure, I cut 3) now for the final test. When I make shrimp and grits, I take bacon and dice it. With Zelite I can stack 3 slices of bacon on top of each other and just cut them in half. Then I fasten them and make a vertical cut in the bone. No bubbles this time! He cut through all the fat perfectly. A great knife and cooking is no longer a chore!
