    Beware of Corrosion!!
  

*by H***1 on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020*

I purchased a knife from this vendor as an expensive Christmas gag gift for my wife, but primarily she needed a good knife for her kitchen.  I was contacted and told the knife I wanted was on back order and would not be available for awhile.  The vendor offered a different knife around the same price range that was readily available and wouldn't require the preventive maintenance this knife requires...I agreed to the substitute, specifically because of the maintenance requirements, and now the stainless knife I received is already showing corrosion (rust spots)....Do your research to make sure the $250.00 knife you purchase does not corrode within the first 3 months of use...**The knife is not used in a commercial capacity **
