Review: The Professional's Choice - Having read a couple of less than stellar reviews on Shun knives, I am writing to say that I do not understand any of those comments. I am a professional in the restaurant business and I have used my Classic 10 inch chef and 8 inch Premier Shun knives for a couple of years. Being so impressed with both knives, I just recently bought this 7 inch Santoku and used it for the past two nights in the restaurant for prep. A few of my colleagues on the line in the restaurant also use Shun knives. I also own four Global and several Henckels from when I began in the business.They are all fine products and their edges will all break or chip if abused. All knives dull with use and need to be re-edged. But like any finely built tool, each knife has its own personality based on design, weight, and quality of steel.I, along with other professionals I regularly talk with, consider Shun to be the current "gold standard" in cutlery. I truly enjoy using all of the brands I that I own and have mentioned, but Shun knives do stand out - IMO. Why? (1) Insane sharpness and retention of original manufacture's edge angle. BTW -It is worth it to purchase the Shun honing steel as it guides the knife with the correct angle. Used properly a Shun knife when dull is better than other standard kitchen knives right back from the sharpener. (2) Heft and hand-feel. Your hands move when chopping and balanced movement is key to precise work as well as safety. I do not own another knife that feels as good in my hands as do my Shun knives. Add to this the well-researched shape of their handle and my hand does not tire nearly as quickly using a Shun. (3) Beauty. Why not own a functional tool that surpasses the day to day demands of a professional kitchen AND looks like a piece of art? Functional art. Look, there are many great knives out there. Buying (and using) a Shun is a life-time purchase. Assuming you do not abuse it, the Shun knife will last and serve you well for a very long time. Whether a conversation piece with guests as you prep dinner or in a professional kitchen setting these knives impress.
Review: Beautiful Knives - I have the entire set. Definitely the best kitchen knives I've ever used. They look just as great now as they did when I bought the original set. Keeps an edge and Shun sharpens them for you. Just remember to keep the boxes so you can send them in when your ready to get them sharpened. I get mine sharpened once a year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful knife
*by V***F on February 28, 2012*

Like many of the others, I got this when it was on sale, and the value at $89 is astounding. First, it is beautiful, and lets face it, for this level of knife it really should be. The Amazon picture does not do it justice, as it has a wonderful mirror polish over the hand hammered sides. Handles are personal, and I like the handle quite a bit, and have fairly average sized hands and use a fairly standard pinch grip. I'll admit, I went to Sur La Table and test drove the knife prior to purchase from Amazon. I also test drove the Miyabi and Global 7" Santoku knives and both are also quite good. I like the Miyabi Kaizen Santoku as much as the Shun, but the Shun in this case was the better deal. The Global was just as wickedly sharp, but I am not a fan of the handle or balance. As many have noted, the Shun knife comes razor sharp and able to shred newsprint or shave hair off the back of your arms, and more importantly, slides effortlessly through carrots and crisply through long angled cuts of spring onion. As an amateur knife maker, who has fire welded and folded up pattern welded (aka "Damascus") steel billets by hand, I recognize this really isn't anything like a "real" pattern welded blade. (Full disclosure, I am not nearly good enough to make great cutlery!) The stainless Damascus sides on this knife simply protect the hard VG10 steel core and it lacks the fine micro-serrations of a true pattern welded edge. In this respect, the performance of the Shun shouldn't be markedly superior to most other good VG10 knives from Tojiro or a number of others Japanese makers, regardless if they are "Damascus" or not. That said, VG10 is hard enough and wear resistant enough to stay razor sharp with nothing more than a few weekly swipes on a steel, but also can be sharpened much more easily than some very hard steels. It is a near perfect knife steel. The resin impregnated wood handle is glossy and beautiful, and as durable and sanitary a choice as micarta, and better than the phenolic handles on most German blades. Now, I have not had enough time to really get used to the knife, and intend to do an update in a year. Right now, like a kid a couple of weeks after Christmas, it is my new favorite toy in the kitchen.
