I've tried writing this thing three times and I can't get it right without sounding like a gushing idiot, so I'm going with bullet points:
-this is a great blade. lightweight but with enough forward mass to really snap.
-good ergonomics, becomes an extension of my arm.
-the sweet spot will really bite deep even into hardwoods.
-best of all a few minutes with a sharpmaker stone returns it to scary sharp.
-a tool that is a pleasure to use. kudos to you, Mr. Becker.
There, that wasn't so hard. I would definitely get another if they were available and in the unlikely event that this one doesn't last me a lifetime.

tough to find one these days though.
