  • Professional Use tested and approved
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

  • Great Knives
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
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

  • 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

  • I think it is a Hattori Hanzō from Kill Bill which is awesome.
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
This is a unique knife and my wife's favorite new go-to over the santoku ones weve used for years. Got it as a gift for the wife who likes to cook. We pamper these, and keep them on display. Hand wash immedicaly after use, dry, and put back in block. We treat them with extra care. They are great looking and razor sharp. Definatley a step up from henkles and cuisinearts we have at home tossed in a drawer. ... show more

  • Beautiful knife, good everyday veggie chopper.
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
The media could not be loaded. I recently bought this knife as an anniversary present. Pros: Gorgeous, durable craftsmanship. Comfortable to hold, good for cutting most vegetables. Blunt tip makes accidental pokes very unlikely, so a bit safer than many knives. Cons: Relatively pricey. Not as sharp or versatile as some of their other products. Lack of an pointed end may be a drawback for some uses. Overall it is a nice product that comes as depicted and serves its intended purpose. The price and the fact that it is not going to replace a more traditional knife limit the value for money it delivers. ... show more
