Though I haven't used it quite yet, as I didn't get another pizza since I ordered this yet soon though!, I DID “pretend” using it. I DO like, first and foremost, that it has a blade guard for storage. Prevents my getting sliced when I store it. Blood is still a little thin from having been on blood thinners, so… wont get the chance of catching my hand against blade whilst stored in drawer. It's heavivier than the the typical inexpensive one you might find in a grocery store, with a cheap wood handle that may not really be wood. Not sure yet if I like that the blade can be removed. It's good that blade can separately be thoroughly cleaned. But, screwing and unscrewing that fastener constantly will hopefully not be a problem keeping the blade in place due to “screw” being made of plastic.
