Shun Knives are Beautiful, Elegant, and the Sharpest around
Shun knives are beautiful creations period. Since I'm Asian, I love the tradition look and feel of this Japanese knife. I love the beauty of the blade and the dark, polished, Pakkawood handle. The unique "D"-shaped, Wood handles are preferable. The shape fits my hand perfectly, and the wood does not get slippery when wet - providing a very secure hold. The steel is of utmost quality and sharpness. Do not put this blade into any old electric knife sharpener! Electric knife sharpeners are made to put one angle on any blade. These blades come with a 16 degree angle and you don't want to be changing that angle. There are electric knife sharpeners that can sharpen these knives, but you'll have to do some research and find out which ones can be a fit with these knives. I prefer to hone with a sharpening steel and manually sharpen with a stone if necessary (and I don't see it being necessary to touch it to a stone any time soon). The blade is sharp straight off the factory and as Alton Brown...
Great knife
This is a great knife. Very sharp and functional. I particularly like the shape of the handle and the way it fits my hand. I never thought I'd pay this much for a kitchen knife but it should last a lifetime.
Great for the home! Ok for the professional kitchen.
First off this knife is excellent for home use. With that being said I did retire it from knife kit at work. The blade is thin, light and easy to handle,however if youre going to cisler a case of onions you'll notice it dulling when your task reaches an end.
All in all, awesome knife from the home, awesome warranty, just wouldnt bring it into the chaos of professional kitchen.
