It's okay, cuts well, but leaves some marks. The most significant issue is its flexibility. Previously we used MK blades which glossed up quickly and, even with dressing them, did not last very long. However, compared to this Covington blade, the MKs did not flex anywhere near this easily and made much straighter cuts. Even with considerable stone preparation and extreme care, it is difficult to make a truly straight cut due to Covington blade flexing.
