It's a great knife for a wide range of skill levels (cooking). I passed mine on to my parents after a professional sharpening and they love it. As for the image... What kind of grip is that?! Don't be like the model, y'all. https://www.craftsy.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-hold-a-knife/
hobbrMy guess is that's what's known as the "let the customers see as much of the product as possible, don't worry how silly it looks, no one will notice" grip lol
Little do they understand the level of scrutiny by knife nuts hahaha
