Must Have!
I absolutely love this knife. I have owned this for about 5 months now.
Yes, it is extremely sharp.
It is my "go-to" for prep work. I mostly use it for large-quantity vegetable prep, but it is heavy (and sharp!) enough to break down and cube large cuts of meat as well. The wider blade of this Western-style Chef's knife is nice for the "chop & scoop" move.
It feels great in my hand and I love the balance and weight of it. It's easy to handle and maneuver. It has held up very well so far with absolutely no issues.
In my opinion this is a must-have when building a set of quality kitchen knives.
My general thoughts on Shun knives:
I have chosen switch from my German Wusthof and Henckels I've been collecting since college and started building a set of Shuns. In doing so, I've noticed a few things:
Firstly, they are absolutely stunning to look at. If I'm honest, it is a large part of why I love these. Superficial, I know, but when people come...
Great Knife
Arrived Promptly.
This is my 10th Shun Knife, and the collection keeps growing.
Never had a problem with the handle.
Two things to note if you're gonna spend your money on such a knife -
1. The blade is sharp, but can dull easily - watch the cutting surface, no dishwasher, after use, don't leave lying around - put back in stand, drawer, or knife roll.
2. You can try to sharpen at home, but do you knives a favor and go to someone who knows how to sharpen THESE knives professionally at least once a year, if not twice.
good knife
This is my first Shun and it's razor sharp and super easy to use!
One thing that slightly bothers me is that they didn't clearly specify what type of steel they used for this knife.
