I actually enjoy slicing various meats with this knife. It is no longer a chore as this effortlessly slices through anything. I actually cooked a brisket specifically to use my new knife on to see if this was easier to use for large slices of meat. It was SO much better than using other knives I already own. And having the nice sora included is wonderful as many other brands don't include a blade guard with purchase for some reason. Attention to these details is just one more reason my kitchen is full of Shun knives.
Nothing bad to say about this knife. I like the weight and feel of it and the blade is so sharp that you just slice one time through your brisket or ribs. No sawing action needed and that saves the juice.
