## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the thickness of the blade metal**
A: Approximately 2mm (top)

**Q: how would this knife handle meat?**
A: The knife is great at cutting and it’s certainly a beautiful knife.  The only problem I have is the handle is not very ergonomic.  I feel it’s a struggle to grasp securely.  I purchased three of these and five of the steak knives.  Overall, I like them, but the cylindrical shape of the handle is harder to hold than more standard handles on knives.
