  • Absolutely exquisite
First impressions out of the box: This is everything you would expect out of a Shun. Immaculate craftsmanship, razor sharp. An absolutely beautiful tool. Handle felt a little small at first, and the center of gravity is slightly behind the bolster. I think this will not matter, as it's light as a feather. Ive held it for a couple of hours now, and my grip feels right at home. The asymmetrical handle feels wonderful. It automatically rotates to the right angle as soon as you grip it, for a right handed person. I cook for a living, and I can't wait to get this in the kitchen tomorrow. This is my 4th Shun product, and I don't regret any of the money I've spent on them. Expensive? Yes. But when you go to work with them, you know where that money went. If you value quality, you can't go wrong with a Shun. ... show more

  • Beatiful & extremely sharp, but the handle is very small...
I'm a fan of Japanese knives. I have knives by Global, Tojiro, Fujiwara and several others. So I've wanted to pick up a Shun for a long time. I decided to pull the trigger when I saw this utility knife at a good price ($70) and it was worth the wait! This is hands down the sharpest knife I have (I just sharpened all my other knives a few days ago), and it's also the most beautiful knife I have. The real damascus steel is quite beautiful and the blonde handle is very nice qaulity. It's edge is like a razor and it easily slides through paper, paper towels, tomatoes, whatever you want to test it on. That said, there are a couple of things you should consider before you order. First, this blade is longer than I expected and very thin. It's listed as a 6 inch utility knife but the blade is closer to 7 inches. That's not a problem, but compared to a 6 inch fujiwara I have, this is less maneuverabile and not as well suited to small jobs. It's also very thin and seems really well suited for slicing, but not for harder things or really for dicing. Second, the handle is pretty small. This is the reason I changed my rating from 5 starts to 4. The size and shape of the handle feels too small for the blade (imagine a razor blade strapped to a pencil), and the more I use it, the more this seems to limit it's functionality. That said, it may just take some getting used to, so I'll update again after a few more weeks of use. Even with that one issue, I'm glad I ordered this and I'm already eyeing more Shun knives with Christmas approaching... ... show more

  • Best utility knife ever
I purchased this recently as it had the promo price and it was a replacement for my existing Shun 6" utility knife which I have broken the tip off of and dinged up the blade after a few years of daily use so this is my second one and 4th Shun. I love this knife, it's light and thin so it works on delicate items like tomatoes easily but it's big enough that you can use it on tougher cuts like potatoes when needed too. It keeps it's edge forever and while I hit it with a steel fairly frequently I finally sharpened my original after about 3 years and that was mainly to try to get rid of a few of the dings I put in. The main things to remember is that this knife is a surgical instrument and isn't designed or intended for heavy work. If you're like my wife and uses a knife like a hammer this isn't the knife for you, get some heavy German blades. However, if you treat this knife properly you'll find this one will end up as you're go to knife for most jobs in the kitchen. ... show more

  • What a great knife
If you only have one knife, I hope you have this one. Be careful as it is sharp, but it cuts everything perfectly. I bought one for me and one for a gift.

  • Great knife but doesn’t keep sharp for long
Got this knife in August 2021. Very sharp, easy to hold, very light and works well until it doesn’t. I just noticed a couple of days ago that it has become very dull. I only ever use it for food chopping and slicing and other food related cutting. I hand wash I never put it in the dishwasher so I’m not sure why it got dull this quickly. I have other knives I use so it’s not the only one I use and those stay sharp for much longer and they’re cheaper so I probably won’t buy this brand again. ... show more
