I have this knife with a steel handle, I assume that the blade is the same. The steel handle seems to be not available any longer on AMZ. Razor sharp, best vegi slicer in my kitchen! Also great for hard cheese and sausage. You have to use it to believe how it practically “falls” through a potato, sraight and true.

I love to cook. I also have been a finish carpenter and cabinet maker and there is no explaining how a good tool is worth it’s weight in gold! This is a must for every cook. Leave it in your kitchen. It will disappear should you take it to your culinary arts class. I’m sure there are better knives but you can’t have them all. As one of my teachers pointed out, you become a prostitute for knives. Just joking of course but all cooks and chefs will know what I imply by that saying. This knife is SHARP and it keeps its edge for a long time.

This is one of the greatest knives I have every used! I am a professional chef who uses a knife in a for a solid 3 hours every day and this is my knife of choice. This knife is far superior to anything I have used. From Montana knives to Wusthof and Sysco Black Diamond this particular Shun beats them all. If you are cutting vegetables in high volume or just for a dinner for two buy this knife. But only buy it if you are serious about owning one of the finest cutting implements on the market.
The blades consists of multiple layers of steel for hardness, strength, durability and corrosion resistance. The blade is kept at a 16 degree angle compared to a Global’s 26 degree blade angle. This means the knife is SERIOUSLY sharp! However it does not hold its edge as long as a knife with a greater blade angle. This means you MUST use a honing steel every so often. In the professional kitchen I use a steel every or every other day to maintain a razor sharp edge. In a home kitchen honing every week or two weeks should be sufficient. The Damascus finish is extremeley attractive and durable due to the high level of carbon in the steel. This also means it is prone to etching. If you are cutting something with high acid content such as lemons be sure to wipe the blade carefully after each use. Also, this knife is a Nikiri or a Japanese vegetable knife. It slices, dices, and minces very well! As far as versatility goes this knife is not high up on the list. If you are looking for the ultimate veggie knife however, look no further.
By all means buy this knife! You will love it and use it more then any other. Just keep in mind the responsibilities that go with a knife of this caliber. Take care of this knife and it will last you a lifetime!

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.
