  • Great quality knife
This knife is made very well and is crazy sharp. It great for slicing and dicing but not chopping. If you chop meat and hit a bone it could chip the blade. This is normal for this kind of steel. It’s a professional tool use it as one.

  • Very sharp and holds the edge! Super ergonomically designed and just enough rocking action
I purchased this knife for my roommate and I’ve used it for a variety of food preparation. This knife is made by true craftsmen who have extreme detail and the antibacterial handle fits perfectly. For the price my only complaint is it should come with a protective sleeve.

  • Amazing knife
This knife is amazing! It cuts anything from carrots to salad, cucumbers and even tomatoes!

  • VERY Beautiful! (i.e., Aesthetically pleasing)
I'd buy another one just to gaze at it. Aesthetics are amazing. The Damascus steel appearance of the blade, the contours and color of the handle, everything looks well put together and seamless. Having been to Japan several times and experienced first-hand Japan's love of aesthetics, this knife fits that bill. It makes me want to use it and use it often. Blade is scary sharp out of the box. The heel of the blade and bolster extend further from the handle so that none of the blade heel is exposed if using a vertical bamboo knife block to store the knife. ... show more

  • Awesome!
These knives are awesome! Very happy overall with the quality feel and slicing abilities. They have a great weight that does not feel cumbersome at all. This santoku especially has a nice height and balance for chopping and slicing. The blonde wood is also my favorite color combo. Looks even better than the classic black. There are tons of quality brands and styles so I've chosen to mix and match my drawer. Though, I'm very tempted to just buy all shun! Can't wait to see how the steel ages and patinas. ... show more

  • Sharp
My wife is an awesome cook, self taught. As her skills have improved her tools have improved. She has several Birchwood high quality knives. She was a little disappointed this wasn't Birchwood but that was my fault I knew the handel wasn't Birchwood. I was interested in the steel and the sharpness. I sharpen her tools using Arkansas oil stones; soft, medium, hard and Surgical Black stones. This knife arrived equally or better then my sharpening level. The wife liked the size of the knife. She has small hands so a 7in blade knife is a big knife for her. We both prefer smaller blade versus a chef knife length. The handel is shaped identical to her Miyabi Handel, but different wood. She likes it. ... show more

  • The perfect go-to kitchen knife
It looks as good as it feels and cuts. My wife and I love Shun knives. We got this one for our parents for Christmas and now they both want to replace all their kitchen knives to Shun. Simply the best. Super sharp, high quality build, very nice looking, ergonomic.
