Pros: NONE
Cons: Hassel Warranty, bad attitude, too much time to deal with

Pros: Excellent quality and an old, well established company that will back them up.
Cons: None - except for initial price.

Pros: It cut my potatoes, bread, carrots, turnips, and watermelon well.
Cons: It was a poor knife when it came time to clean it.

Pros: Durability, Performance, Stay Sharp
