I did that with my first Sebenza, when I got it I thought "I just spent $300 on a knife?" and was sort of disappointed with it, two years later after trying several different brands of knives I sold the rest to just have a couple of good users and I ordered another and don't know why I got rid of the first one after realizing how well it's made. If you don't like it use it and give it a chance. you'll probably like it.
