I bought 3 of the Sikkina knives including the Master Lehja and the Lehja Hand Forged 8" Chef’s knife. Love these knives. The Master feels solid in my hand, very sharp, I use it for all my vegetable chopping, crushing garlic, slicing cheese, even slicing chicken. I love this knife a lot. The Chef knife I use to trim all meat types, and slice up cooked beef, anything you would use a chef knife for. All the Sikkina knives I have are awesome, and it does not hurt that they look very good in the kit...
