I have had it for almost two years and it is only now beginning to show signs of needing a bit of sharpening. It is also extremely affordable at less than $25. It slices through ripe tomatoes like a dream!
I've tried a fairly wide variety of knives over the last 10 years, but after trying carbon steel it is really hard to find a conventional knife that works as well for me.

Yes, it's the carbon steel in the Lee Valley knife which makes it so good. Carbon steel takes a better edge and keeps it longer than stainless. But it's hard to find these days as everyone has switched to stainless.
