Query: Balance, comfortable in the had, great weight

I've found this to be one of the knives I reach for most often. I love the feel of it in the hand, and the way the weighting helps with function. It is a fairly short knife, but if it was longer, it would be too heavy to be as maneuverable.Mine has held it's edge very well, but at this price, I can see there being some variation in quality from batch to batch. For the utility you get at this price, I'd say it is worth the risk and/or more frequent sharpening and honing.
