The knife shattered within the first week of using it. My wife used it to strip meat from chicken bones. I question the quality of the knife if it shatters on contact with chicken bones... We actually purchased this to replace the exact same knife that my wife purchased in Japan. That one lasted several years and only shattered when I dropped it on the linoleum floor.

I thought this game was a decent follow-up to the first in the series. Square Enix improved upon some of the issues many people had with FF XIII. My favorite aspect of the game is that it is visually stunning and fast-paced. The only problem I have with the game is that I often didn't know where I was supposed to be going or what my current objective should be... but I actually think that was Square Enix's intention and attempt to make the game less linear.
