My other knives are getting lonely

No matter the task, I find myself reaching for this knife first. I love the way it feels in your hands and its razor-sharp edge makes quick work of whatever I am slicing or dicing (other than slicing through bones when piecing poultry).
The look of this knife is as sharp as it’s blade! Beautifully crafted and designed. Slices through most anything you put in front of it with ease. Definitely worth the price tag. Just be sure, as with all high end cutlery, to hand wash and dry after every use to keep it looking beautiful for years to come!
It’s like cutting nothing at all! I was finally able to save up enough to obtain this knife and was excited but also nervous to cut with it… I was right to be nervous, this thing is so sharp! I already have a lot of great Shun knives but this thing is a different level! I went to slice a green pepper this morning and there was literally no resistance at all… It felt like I was cutting something that wasn’t there! I could see the green pepper and I could see the knife go through it but there was no feeling at all… Yes it is that sharp!
Thank you for such beautiful work!!

Hello Zeke,
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments and rating. Welcome to the Shun family!
I have pretty extensive experience with custom blades in the realm of bushcraft and outdoor use. This was my first high quality culinary blade and I never knew a knife would make cooking so much more enjoyable. I’m almost exclusively a proteins guy and this blade help me make my tenderloin cuts so much better. My filets really do take on a whole new level of appearance and I have this blade to thank for it. Wonderfully balanced and gorgeous to look at. On top of that it costs a fraction of some other knives I own. This is my first Shun and I can’t wait to pair it with a clever.
Most amazing knife I ever used. Perfection. What all steels should feel with confort. My hand hand wraps perfectly with the best confort. It’s a beautiful piece.
I have a yanagiba and a santoku, but this knife is the one I always reach for. The dual-core blade is supposed to create micro-serrations that keep it sharp. I wasnt sure if that would be true, but Ive had it for a year or so now, and it is definitely the knife I reach for more than the others.
This fine made in Seki work of art is a absolute pleasure to work with! It's super sharp and beautiful. I love all my Shun knives and accessories. The company has the best warranty and free lifetime sharpening. Thank you Shun for your excellence.
