My recent purchase was 2 - 8 inch Chef’s Knifes, as wedding presents. Last year, I bought 2 - 10 inch Chef’s knives but the feedback I received suggested I should go smaller going forward, the intimidation factor was not insignificant.
The recipients to date, even of the longer knives, are THRILLED. Wile they are still exploring the “cooking experience,” every one of them appreciates that their Shun knife represents an investment in their future (kitchen lives)! All of the recipients are newbies in the kitchen, I am not. I believe investments in a few fundamental kitchen tools trumps acquiring many, less robust, tools.
This knife is awesome. The only problem is, you must never run it over one of your fingers.:weary: I do believe it would completely slice off a finger. But I absolutely love it for cooking.
This is the one which bears the crown, no doubt. The breadth, balance, and weight of this knife is enough to blow you away upon first contact. The performance is nothing short of outstanding yet you will have to be equipped with a formidably sized cutting board to make use of it all. There is a certain special feature set to this knife especially. It is the maximum size western chef profile, this size can truly handle anything. It has Japanese steel and cutting performance, making any cuts effortless and the blade pleasantly light. The best of both worlds blend here is hard to find elsewhere. Thank you Shun for selling such an excellent knife.
