yes it is. and I use it for almost everything and anything. it get's used more then any of the other's I have. I've used it for scaling fish to de-boning duck/chickens, mince a shallot like a razor, etc, etc,etc. I highly recommend one if your in the market
We use the Dexter knives quite a bit - good non slip handle, stays quite sharp and is very affordable.

Now don't laugh. (sometimes beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder as with your spouse whom you have loved for thirty years)
Top is my favorite knife - my everyday, go-to knife. Easy to sharpen to a razor edge. I inherited it and several similar cousins from my parents. A longer, straighter version does the turkey(when I have a broken fingernail).
The bottom two are Warther Cutlery ( http://www.warthercutlery.com/ ). They are my workhorse paring knife and my 5" serrated knife. The serrated blade is a dream on tomatoes (when I have a broken fingernail) and I reserve it almost exclusively for that purpose.
Warther knives are made right here in town and sharpening is free for life of the knife.
btw - Check out the carving museum site for a sampling of the amazing carvings Mooney Warther did with his home-made knives.

He could not buy suitable knives for his carving so he made his own. As other people wanted the buy his knives the cutlery business was born.

cool knives.. those warthers look great and I love the patina on the top one. Not sure if you know it or not , but there are all kinds of people who try to force patina on their knives just to have them look like that

Ima pc guy. I've built my rigs for the past ten years or so.
And those Walther knives are gorgeous Cone9!
Nice set.
Funny. I haven't built my own for 10 yrs, but built 10's of them for the 10 years before the last 10 ...
PS - bought your knife late last night.

I'm drawn to the 3rd one down, and the 5th one down ... for whatever reason.

I prefer a Mac for my development machine, even though in this day and age I mostly develop against Ubuntu VM's via Docker and Vagrant etc ...

Yer gonna love it.
When I was cutting my burger's bun, and then the burger itself, it suddenly made a lot of sense ...
None of my other knives would work well to cut the bun, the tomato, and the resultant burger in a single item to wash - sold!

Looking good ...
I actually had only a long slicing knife, a chef's knife, and a small santoku blade ...
It was getting ridiculous having to wash them each time I wanted to use a knife, since they were almost always sitting in the dishwasher ...
Now I've added 4x knives to the equation, I'm sure it'll be MUCH better! ...
