Shun Classic 7-Inch Santoku Hollow Ground Knife

This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.
Amazon.com Review:
A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this multipurpose Santoku knife comfortably handles any kitchen cutting need from chopping to mincing, dicing, and slicing. Resembling something between a chef’s knife and a cleaver, this tool features a wide blade measuring 6-1/2 inches in length. The scalloped detailing along the knife’s cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering its steel surface.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold

This is an excellent knife
It hasn't completely replaced my 10" chef's knife for some things, but for thin slicing vegetables and general use (slicing, not heavy chopping) this is the first knife I reach for. The very thin blade gives great control. I'm a stickler for sharp tools, and this is the sharpest knife our of the box I've seen.
EXCELLENT
We noticed several chefs on the Food Network using these hollow ground knives, so after researching the difference between a regular knife and a hollow ground knife, we thought we'd try one. It was AMAZING! Food doesn't stick to the knife when slicing! We want to get another one!
Those Fools! They knew better than to craft this blade from the space craft wreckage.
MAD! THEY ALL MUST HAVE BEEN MAD! I warned them to stay away from the wreckage, to not touch it and especially not craft a 7 inch hollow ground santoku knife. BUT DID THEY LISTEN? NOOOOOOO!
And now the world trembles as this blade slices its way across countless kitchens. When you think about it, it was the perfect plan really. I wouldn't be surprised if we played into the Aliens hands perfectly.
Crash a spacecraft off the Japanese coast. When the Japanese begin to investigate the wreckage, they note that the metal is amazingly strong and light and would make the perfect kitchen chefs blade. THE FOOLS! They should have known better!
Sure, this blade is easy to control, well balanced, extremely sharp and cleans up easily with minimal work. BUT ITS ALL A TRICK! All the owners of this blade can tell you the same thing. THEY CUT THEMSELVES AT LEAST ONCE WHILE USING THIS BLADE! Why is that you think? Sure, it could be that this is a high end blade and we all don't have much experience using superior cutting products and didn't realize how crappy our previous blades were. That sounds logical enough.
BUT ITS NOT THAT EASY! You see, we have been contaminated now. Even as I type this, I feel strange surges of power radiating from the cut on my thumb I got last night when I used this blade to cut open the bag of pizza rolls.
My evidence? Shun. Most Americans say it phonetically, cha-un. But its not cha-un, its sch-un. As in moon. shun. Moon. SHUN. MOON. MOON PEOPLE MADE THIS BLADE AND ARE PREPARING TO INVADE! Those who have cut themselves will be the unwilling Moon Warriors.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!
Shun knife
I have used many different brands of high-quality knives during the past 60 years. This is hands-down the finest knife I have ever used. It holds its ultra-sharp edge for a long time.
Not a good knife, a great knife
This is the second one I've bought. The first was for my wife as a gift. She loves to cook (lucky me) and has been using hand-me-down Chicago Cutlery for years. Previously, I bought her a Henckels paring knife. This knife is incredible. We are actually cautious with it because the blade is so sharp. Feels great in your hand, weighty but not too heavy. Most times you don't even need the serrated paring knife because this will do it for you. In the future I would definitely buy another Shun. My mother called us shortly after Christmas raving about the knife (she too is a cook). Great product and a wonderful purchase.
