I received my eagerly awaited carbon steel Sabatier 12" chef's knife. This is a "handcrafted fine tool". Imagine my disappointment to find that the blade had not been finished. The sharpening had been done with a grinder and had actually missed some spots, leaving a blade about as sharp as a butter knife. I sharpened it myself and will try it for a week or so before I decide whether to send it back. I don't have high hopes for any product so shoddily finished.
