great knife . my 4th shun. love them all when we went out of town our house sitter must have used the point of the birdsbeak as a prybar and bent it. I straightend most of it. it still works well I see the damage every time I use it, makes me sad
This paring knife is seriously the best one I've used. The blade's curve is awesome, makes a huge difference. As always, the quality is top notch, just what I expect from Shun!
If fruit is a regular component in your life then this knife should be a regular tool in your life. This and a nakiri do the vast majority of cutting chores on a soft rubber cutting board in my kitchen.
Pretty good for trimming/cutting vegetables. Bit of a learning curve as this is a specialty knife, but this is a finely made tool so it's worth the effort. Again, beautifully made, and we'll adapted to its specific task.
