"I received the 10-inch Chef's Knife as an anniversary present. This is a fantastic knife; stays sharp and is extremely maneuverable. The handle feels great, even after preparing for a 1000 person banquet."

Throw out your old chef's knife! November 16, 2007
JimnKara from Sioux Falls, SD

"I've used a famous German brand of knives for years... but now they sit in the block collecting dust. The blade on the Shun is very sharp and holds an edge for a long time. The balance is near perfect... and it looks gorgegous! Who could ask for more?"

Best of the best November 15, 2007
bigdog from Bismarck, ND

"I tried this knife when it was first offered. It is without a doubt the finest knife I've used. Over the past couple of years I've replaced all of my knives with Shun products. I cook for a lot of banquets and special events. At first I was concerned with the thin blade's ability to hold an edge, but no longer. I used this knife to trim and "french" 300 pounds of pork ribs and when I was done, the edge was still great. I found the Chef's Choice Asian sharpener to be the best tool for honing and reconditioning the edge. I wouldn't be afraid to use this blade in any demanding commercial application."

"I have the 8". This is the crown jewel in my kitchen. Not only is it spectacular to look at, but it cuts like a hot knife through a stick of butter."
