Utopia Kitchen 4 Inch Professional Chef Knife - Carbon Stainless Steel Blade with Protective Sheath & Ergonomic Handle - Perfect for Chopping, Slicing & Dicing Vegetables, Meat & Herbs - Ideal for Home Chefs & Professional Kitchens

I occasionally make myself a sauté dinner consisting of raw meat, raw vegetables, and raw garlic. I was due for a new knife and decided to buy this one after seeing good reviews and the price being a value. I've been very impressed with how well this knife cuts and chops. Without having to use much pressure with my hands, I'm able to easily slice and chop raw garlic, slice raw meats, and slice raw vegetables. 2 raw meats I've used it for so far are boneless pork loin and raw wild caught calamari. 3 vegetables I've used it for so far are broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. It does an excellent job slicing raw zucchini.
