Amazing Knife

2 words" WOW" This is my 2nd knife. The quality of theses are just Amazing. The look and the style is beyond compare. The sharpness is like no other knife I have ever used. There is a learning curve for sure. You may think your old knives were sharp but not compared to these. You learn how to cut all over again.

A Remarkable Knife

This is probably the favourite of all my Shun knives. It is such a practical shape, the way it is able to work on any size cutting board is truly a dream come true. The sharpness is a given, but it must be repeated here - these are outrageously sharp knives. The effort required to cut is nil, so preparation is truly a breeze. In any case, the Santoku profile is excellent for any size vegetable it can handle, a workhouse in and of itself especially appropriate for extended cutting sessions and big batches. The ergonomics excel. I highly recommend this knife for its friendly, approachable and compact shape and formidable overall performance.

Feel it, see it, touch it, art...

Working in restaurant for over 17 years and having the opportunity to handle many bad knives. Now when someone special gave me this amazing knife i knew we were meant to be together... -Light -Sharp -Best balance -Easy to carry -Easy to clean -Seems delicate but don't be foolish -I prefer to avoid plastic cutting boards Anyway, I can write more but you get my point. Great knife...
