Unbelievable knife
This knife is the best one I have ever owned. First job I used it for was shredding brussells sprouts - made quick and easy work of that. It's perfectly balanced and slices through food really easily.

My favorite Chef's knife.
The Shun Classic is a wonderfully balanced, incredibly sharp knife with a durable edge.I bought this one to give as a gift, I've been using one for five years and it's never let me down.
The D shaped handle is surprisingly comfortable for me (Right handed) and my wife (lefty).
The only challenge is that it's an Asian style knife with a Damascus steel blade. You need to take it to a professional sharpener, who has experience sharpening 15 degree Asian blades.

Now THAT'S is a knife!
Fantastic knife! Prior to getting my Shun knives, I didn't have especially good knives ... and I didn't really know it, until we invested in the Shuns! We get lots of use out of this particular knife every single day. We did some reading (somewhere) that it's not the best on pumpkins and other super hard veggies due to the special angle of the Shun blade; additionally, it's so sharp that I would feel uncomfortable using it on a pumpkin in case there's a catastrophic slip. Other than for Fall pumpkins and gourds, this knife is an absolute staple in our kitchen. One of our personal Top 10 kitchen items, in fact. After using (and loving) this knife, I helped prepare dinner at a friend's house using her knives; I couldn't believe the difference. Once you have a knife like this, you will not be able to use your old knives again.

I love this knife
This knife is our "go to"knife. Last year I purchased a set of Cutco knives and now wish I had saved my money. The Shun knives are superior to any others I have used.

Simply The Best
