One of the best knives I've owned
The Shun knives, in my opinion, are as good as they come. I have been cooking professionally for 19 years now as a certified licensed working chef. I teach culinary school and the most asked questions I get are about knives and which ones to buy. Through out most of my career I've used Messermeister knives which were great and held up for many years, but like most German knives, they don't hold their edge. The first time I held a Shun knife was at a supply store. Once I held it in my hand I had to have it. I highly encourage my students and my colleagues to give Shun knives a try for I assure them that they won't be disappointed.
Just wonderful
This knife is fantastic. It's not only beautiful but cuts like no other. I'm a huge Global knife fan but thought I would try the Shun just for comparison. It completely met and exceeded my expectations. It's very well balanced and fit nicely in my hand. I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a smaller utility knife with some style.

Shun Premier Knives are made with the same technique as traditional samurai swords. After months of moderate use on the toughest items, my Shun Premier knives haven't dulled, chipped, scratched, or otherwise marred their initial perfect finish. I know what I want daily in the kitchen and by my side in the Zombie apocalypse. However, consider looking for a better price elsewhere.

The outside of a pineapple is as hard as wood, and my Santoku cuts through it with only gentle application of force - no sawing required. After months of use on only the tough stuff (I use different knives for pairing, poultry etc), this knife still hasn't dulled noticeably. Notice, this knife is a little small for use on pineapple, but I mention the pineapple as an example of how sharp Shun knives are generally.
BEAUTY
This knife is a thing of...
