Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
Excellent knife, razor sharp out of the box. I use it 10 hours a week prepping vegetables in a busy restaurant and its been nothing short of amazing. Durable, doesn't stain and have only needed to sharpen it once in almost a year. Absolutely do recommend for home or professional use

Review Image by Patrick Finnegan Patrick Finnegan
I was turned on to these knives by my wife. Now I need to get a bigger magnetic board to hold our set (as it is not all that we want yet. Very nice price point, excellent quality, easy to care for. Holds an edge very well. Excellent performance, feels good in both my hands and my wife’s. The first three have held up amazingly well as we have had them for quite some time. We are gradually replacing all of cooking knives. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Sharp. Just what I needed.
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
I will confess that this Shun Nakiri Damascus layered Knife was not by any means cheap, but I don't have my own teeth and I needed something SHARP to chop my veggies and other chewy stuff. This knife fits the bill. It will chop leafy lettuce all by itself which is something that no knife I owned could do without sending stuff flying off the cutting board. After using one at my daughters place in SC I had to have one. This knife will, with a cleaver action on a cutting board, finely chop the likes of rogain leaves, kale and spinach and nothing flies about, just gets chopped. Don't even need to hold the leafy stuff you are chopping which for me is a great safety factor. I've heard that the handle is too small. You really don't need to man handle this knife. It's sharp enough to do most anything without a heavy hand. Here it is shown cutting leftover prime rib using only the weight of the knife alone which is a mere 4 ounces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-nRkb_8RQ Revised and updated because I just bought the Premier Sumo Santoku TDM0743S knife which has a stand. It is prominently displayed on my kitchen bar and it is just as sharp as my Nakiri Shun but is heavier to make use of the weight of the knife itself to aid in cutting. I can shave pork loin to make it tender as a marshmallow for sandwiches (with kraut of course). Love both of these knives. Just make sure you have a good cutting surface. Those complaining about the knife going dull or chipping might be using the counter top for a cutting board. Use a simple plastic mat or an actual maple board. ... show more

    • I did not think I needed a dedicated vegetable knife until I bought this.
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
I previously had a Shun Premier 7" Santoku and a 4" pairing knife and it appeared that some sellers were clearing out some of their Shun Premier line so I expanded. This particular knife I went back and forth on whether I should get it or not. I'm a fairly serious carnivore so the concept of having a dedicated vegetable knife was an uncertainty, especially considering that my Santoku has a nearly flat blade. I decided to bite the bullet when a very low price came by and I am glad I did. This thing is completely worth it because it completely cuts vegetables with one slice rather than leaving a strand hanging if I don't to a very exaggerated forward motion at the end to get a non-flat blade to go through. Shun of course makes very sharp knifes and looks great. I doubt they are the pinnacle of knives, but they work great for me. I have them professionally sharpened once a year regardless of how well I think they are holding up. You can do the one handed tomato slice with this knife when it's sharp. ... show more

Very sharp and it is super light! I am a girl to cook with meat and vegetables almost everyday, it helps me cutting and slicing the meat so fast! Saved my strength and time a lot! But the price is a little bit high！
