We bought this as a steak knife for my wife, who's more comfortable with a smaller knife than the average steak knife. It has worked magnificently for her in that use. The knife itself is a work of art. The look and feel exude quality. The shape and balance are simply perfect, the finish is flawless. As a general purpose, small kitchen knife, or as a steak knife for those with smaller hands, we enthusiastically recommend this knife.

This is a beautiful knife that also makes an exceptional steak knife, particularly for ladies with smaller hands.
