So far so good
I'm holding my breath that it doesn't crack in half like the others.
So far, it's good. I'm no chef, but it's a solid improvement over the knives I have owned.
It's too bad that drop stopped sell anything other than keycaps and headphones.
Remember watches, outdoor gear, and of course knives?
This is such a common comment on the boards, I would not be surprised if the loss of sales and customers is intentional. Ever since they changed their name, it's all been downhill...just selling old stock (which still has the old name on it, like this product).
Prove me wrong

Great knife at a great price
I have been coooking with inferior knives for years and didn't know. This is well-balanced and a joy to use.

Started great, but failed quickly
Blade cracked near the hilt. Real shame, it was an excellent knife and a pleasure to use otherwise.

Very Sharp Out of the Box, Very European Blade Shape
I've read all the negative reviews about this knife but I bought it anyway. This knife's cutting surface from tip to heel has a curve to it that is much more pronounced than my Tojiro or Misen knives. The blade is very thin, seemingly thinner than my Nakiri, and very sharp right out of the box. I'm still getting used to it but I like the thin blade when making the horizontal cuts on vegetables like onions as it seems to spread the onion less because of the thin blade. I've had the cheaper Henckel lower cost and quality knives which have a similar thickness blade to the Apogee but the Apogee just has a better feel. I mainly bought the knife for the blade shape and because the handle looked like it was comfortable, which it is. I have a callous built-up on the left side of my middle finger from pressing against the bolster on my Tojiro and Misen knives during a pinch grip. But with the handle shape of the Apogee and the space between the area of the blade for a pinch grip and the back of the bolster, I'm not getting the pressure against the side of my middle finger. The grip to blade design reminds me of a Japanese wood-handled Carbon steel knife like a Mioroshi Deba.

Awesome handle, average blade
I purchased this on the first run in 2018. I have a couple other 8” knives, but I was intrigued by G10 handle. I own many folding knives with G10 scales, and I always thought it would be perfect for a chef knife. I also own a few Apogee Dragon knives, which I love. The handle of the Vital knife is awesome, I love the material, shape and size. But the blade is very thin and will flex slightly. I chipped the tip at one point, but to be fair it was probably my fault. Still, I prefer a thicker blade-like the Apogee Dragon line or my old 8” Wusthof. This handle would be awesome with a 3mm wide blade like the Apogee Dragons.
EDIT 0622: I purchased this knife in 2018. I gave it a three star review in 2021. Less than 24 hours following my review there was a glowing five star review posted. A few months later there was another negative review immediately followed by a five star review. This process has repeated itself several times in the last few years. This feels like an obvious cycle of fake reviews in response to negative reviews of a poor product. Perhaps initiated by Mass or the manufacturer(Apogee.)
