This is my go-to knife to cut anything significant in the kitchen. It gives me precision control for slicing cheeses to splitting dehydrated veggies dried too long in the fridge, and allows one to power through the toughest challenges with ease, because of its sturdy design and construction. I like these coolina knives so much, I converted a different one to a hatchet style for outdoor landscape use by replacing the handle with a longer, wooden hammer handle. Thank you, Coolina!
