I really like the Fusion knife. It feels great in my hands, and had a very versatile shape allowing for all types of cutting / chopping tasks. And in the event of a zombie apocalypse, this would be the knife I'd grab. For brute-force chopping, the Fusion excels. I also feel less likely to accidentally stab myself with the blunt-nosed tip. Mincing herbs or garlic is very easy with the Fusion, and I love using the blade like a mezzaluna to rock back and forth.
That being said, I find myself grabbing the Dragon 10 inch Chef's Knife far more frequently for preparing dinner. The main reason is the versatility of the tapered, sharper blade. When chopping onions, for example, the Fusion's blade is just too wide to slice without completely splitting the onion, while the tip of the Chef's Knife is thin enough to handle finer tasks like this. Another difference between the Fusion and Chef's knives is the back of the blade, which is curved for the Fusion but much flatter for the Chef's Knife. This makes a difference when I flip the knife to scrape the cutting board, since the back side of the Fusion is too curvy to effectively scrape a flat surface.
I have no regrets about getting the Fusion, which is a really lovely knife with great steel and is so satisfying to use. But in many ways it is less versatile than a large santoku or chef's knife for the reasons mentioned above.

Fantastic knife from a fantastic company. Use it every day and it still remains sharps. So impressed with this knife that I replaced my 35 year old Chicago Cutlery set (USA steel back then) with other Dragon knifes.
And Apogee is a great company. They really do stand behind the quality of their product when I had a question about the Fusion knife.

This knife is kick ass sharp. Steel is hard enough to retain the fine edge. It has the heft to chop without feeling too heavy, perfect weight, excellent for root vegetables.
