Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Shun Quality!!! Comment: Shun. What more needs to be said??? It is simple, Shun is the best all around. Will you pay more? Sure you will but you will never have to buy a replacement in your lifetime. Shun knives are the best in the world, no question. Customer Rating: Summary: Shun - a realistic view, still very good Comment: First, the Shun lines (plural) are made my Kai, the same producer of the Wasabi, Seki Magoroku, and Pure Komachi lines. This Japanese company knows how to make and sell knives! The blade is damascus-like. It is technically called honwarikomi. Simply, it's near-white steel (high carbon) sandwiched between stainless. There are other companies that do it but the additional steel layers on Shun knives looks prettier. The bottom line is you shouldn't be suckered by the look but the fact is VG-10 is great steel and it's afforded additional protection by the stainless around it. The wood handle is impregnated with material which makes it very water resistant. I don't know if the blade is welded to the tang or if it continues through the handle, but the pommel is welded to the tang, making it one piece. Overall, it is very solid and seamless. The blade is plenty wide enough to make straight cuts. It's narrow enough to peel and do hand-held work. The blade is also thin and moves through food with ease. Since it is Japanese styled, the heel is exposed, not an integrated bolster, which is on most European knives. That gives you an additional tip to peel or score food with. The handle is small enough to fit completely in the hand. The off-round shape gives additional torsion control and orientation. I know I paid more for this knife than I could for others that do about the same job but I still think it's worth it. It is Japanese styled, made by Kai, has very good steel, has a good handle, and is guaranteed high quality. If you're looking for a great paring knife, this is it. Customer Rating: Summary: Sanari in the kitchen Comment: This is my first Shun knife, and it won't be my last. I have been buying German knives for years however this Shun outperforms everother knife that I own. Very impressed!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: The ONLY knife! Comment: I own several of these Shun knives and have put all my other knives to bed. I have a small hand and the size and weight of these knives is perfect for me. It is amazing how efficient this product allows you to be in the kitchen, and once you use one you will like nothing else. I even had to buy one when I was on vacation, I missed mine so much! Customer Rating: Summary: The best! Comment: I'd spent my entire cooking career using nothing but good quality German knives and would not consider using anything else. Then I received this knife as a gift. OK, I've converted. This is the best knife I have ever used. The blade is extremely sharp. The feel in your hand is great. The design is beautiful. I've now given this knife as a gift and the comments that I receive about it are always rave reviews. This size is particularly useful, it's on the counter or in the sink more than it's in the block.
