Cory McHugh –
I bought this knife in the store, and is insanely sharp. You have to be careful with it, because it is like a razor. It cuts through virtually anything without any hesitation or pressure.
The other thing I love about it – it’s super light. I can use it to for a long time with no fatigue. It’s great if you have family coming over and you have to chop a ton of vegetables.
I asked the store owner (Alex) about it, and these knives apparently have a lifetime warranty too. Well worth the price, and I am totally going to get the other Shun knives too.
Not only is it an excellent chef’s knife, Shun has done an amazing job making it GORGEOUS. The carbon lines from the folded steel look like you are holding some kind of mystical ninja sword! I can’t recommend this knife enough.
