Good little knife for my wife
on December 24, 2023
Posted by: Mark T.
My wife liked a smaller santoku from our crummy knife block because it fit well in her hand and was more comfortable to use than my chefs knives but it was duller than Trump supporters. I decided to purchase this when it was on sale for a gift since Shun has a good reputation with their knives. It came plenty sharp and looks really nice on our magnetic knife strip with some other Japanese steel from my collection. My only gripe is that it doesn't hold its edge as long as I'd hoped it would. Fortunately, it was quick to sharpen on the wet stone and wasn't too difficult to get it back to gliding through produce.
I love so much about the knife. The weight is good, it's sharp, and it does a good job. My one complaint is the back of the handle doesn't fit in my hand smoothly. I wish it continued with wood to the end.
