Cook knife with a blade length of 25 cm from KAI's Shun Classic series. 65-layer blade Damascus steel with hard VG10 steel in the core and SUS-430 and SUS-431 steel sides. The HRC of the steel is 60-62. Handle in black Pakka wood. Classic chef's knife suitable for many things in the kitchen! Pieces of meat, vegetables, root vegetables etc. The special manufacturing method in KAI Shun Classic where two types of mild steel are alternated in 32 layers around a core of very hard VG-10 steel makes the knives almost unbelievably sharp and durable. The structure of the knife blade also means that the knife does not break under heavy load. The knives are made by hand, including the steel work, which gives each knife a unique pattern in the steel. The handles made of Pakkawood, thin layers of hardwood that are interspersed with plastic under heavy pressure, are D-shaped and sit comfortably in the hand.

This was my first chefs knife for work when I began my career in the kitchen. I have been using it daily for the past 7 years and it still feels brand new. It has a VERY long edge life, regardless of what surface you are using it on. Really easy to hone it as well. Has superb weight distribution for optimal comfort and never caused hand cramping or pain whatsoever. I was worried the 10 incher would cause me issues because of its length, but it was surprisingly very easy to use and insanely comfortable. I am also absolutely stunned by the Shun brand. Definitely worth the price.

When I ordered it, I was actually wondering what I was going to get, but after the first time using it I understood what others have been raving about. Cuts like a laser. The balance is excellent and I find myself relaxing too much while using this SHUN knife. This is a Rolls Royce knife that wants to go fast. There are better knives to break cabbages and pumpkins. I use a 10 Dexter Russell Cimeter steak knife for that: number S132-10. Everten has them. Many chefs perhaps would not come across this Cimeter knife. They have a nice taper from handle to tip and from top of blade to edge. Dexter is good American steel and holds a great edge. A fantastic bread knife too. The sharpening angle on a SHUN is different to others.

With Dexter S132-10, the butcher would supply the final edge preparation. My SHUN is tops!

When I arrived home last evening from a long and less than perfect day at work, I found that my new Shun knives had been delivered. I hadn't planned to cook, but the temptation to try out these new knives was too great. I told myself to just dice an onion and heat up left overs and relax. Well, that plan didn't work. I had been curious about these knives and admired them for a long time, but had hesitated because of the cost. I hadn't even gone into the store to hold the knife in my hand. Recently there was a special purchase for the 8"" chef's knife and the 3.5"" paring knife. The offer was too good to pass up. This is one time the gamble paid off. I feel like I've hit the jackpot! The German knives which have been my friends for so many years will go to a good ... MoreWhen I arrived home last evening from a long and less than perfect day at work, I found that my new Shun knives had been delivered.

The German knives which have been my friends for so many years will go to a good home and a new block full of Shun will move to their place. These knives are such a joy to use I made not one, but two pots of soup last night! I couldn't stop chopping. I can't wait to buy more, and I encourage anyone who is considering taking the leap to go for it. You will be glad you did. They are everything they claim to be and more. I went to bed tired, but oh so happy

Knife:Came in immaculate condition. Beautiful, and SHARP. Love the slight asymmetric handle. It's not intrusive, just feels right. Lightweight for an 8" full tang knife. Love the blade shape for how I use it. Belly is good for rocking cuts, but not too excessive for slicing. Point is nice, and useful. Two months with multiple users (my wife is not too picky about knife care by the way, but we have at least kept it out of the dishwasher.). Still what most would call SHARP, no traces of rust, handle fit is still perfect. I sharpened it this morning just for this review and it went fine. (I am a right handed woodworker. I am picky about what "sharp" means, and I frequently sharpen knives, chisels, plane blades.)Purchase:Sur la table web site showed it was in stock ... MoreKnife:Came in immaculate condition.

I am now a convert!! I've been a chef for (well) over 20 years and have always treated myself to the best knives you could get - you know the ones - all German, Swiss or French ones that cost a fortune. I'm now into my second year of working at a fantastic fishing lodge situated in the Tiwi Isalnds and I get a lot of very fresh fish to cut up for sashimi. I figured if i really want to do this right I'd have to get a proper Japanese sashimi knife. While purchasing it I saw this knife and as i needed a cooks knife without a heel, I'd been thinking European of course before i'd seen this. Anyway - I've never been so excited about a piece of kit since buying my very first knife. It is REALLY sharp and stays that way. My F-**** is always sharp - but not like this.

Anyway - I've never been so excited about a piece of kit since buying my very first knife. It is REALLY sharp and stays that way. My F-**** is always sharp - but not like this. The blade is so thin it feels like it's twice as sharp as my other 'traditional' knives. Steeling it is a case of 4 light runs and it's ready to go. I have never sliced tomatoes as easily as i do with this (told you i was excited - it could be considered a little large for slicing tomatoes but it is still a lot more efficient than using any of my other knives). HIGHLY recommended - you will not be dissapointed, and if you've never used this style of knife before, get ready to - be excited!
I thought I had good knives that functioned well in all my cooking. But I found myself constantly sharpening them, which didn’t last very long. I saw knives on the Sur La Table website that seemed better and had great reviews. So I bought this one! It is a joy to slice and chop, it’s so sharp that it feels like I’m slicing through butter. I take good care because it will cut. Y fingers easily being so sharp! I love it and hope it will always so so sharp . Try it for yourself
This knife is my go to knife for everything. I purchased this at the beginning of Summer 2020 and received it in awesome condition and it was sharp. It remained sharp with the use of a honing knife and slices everything perfect. I definitely will continue to purchase more Shun knives in the future.
Good knife, not the same quality as they used to be. The store didn’t have it in stock so they offered to ship it to me which was fine. The actual knife packaging was super sticky for no reason. It was the only thing I had ordered. It not longer comes with a sheath not is there an option to purchase one in store. My recommendation is to shop around before buying based on reputation.
I received a Shun Santoku knife a few years ago, and have loved it. I finally bought this Chef knife, and cannot believe how sharp it is, how balanced and controllable it is. So happy to have this.
I received a set of Shun knives for my birthday two or three years ago. I love the feel and balance of the knives, and they are incredibly sharp. Unfortunately, even with extreme care they are damaged easily. The tip of one was damaged when we opened the box. A tip of another has been damaged even though it has never been dropped or handled roughly. I have used high end German knives for decades with no issues like this. It was quite a disappointment considering the cost of these knives.
