I bought this back around Christmas 2011 when it was on an Amazon holiday deal for $100. If you find it for that price nowadays, I'd pretty much try to yell through the computer screen at you to get it. :D At the current prices of ~$150 (depending on seller), I'd still say it's a good but not great value. Cost aside, it is a very nice knife. Aesthetically, the blade is simply exceptional. The polished hammered top half combined with the layered bottom half are beautiful. The pakkawood handle is also attractive, but I admit to not being as enamored with it as I was years ago. For some, the lighter weight may not be a preference, but it can be a real bonus when using this for a while because I think it helps prevent my arm and wrist from getting as tired as when I'm using my heavier knives. The build quality is outstanding. Of the four Shun knives that I've purchased, I've had one (a more expensive Reserve model) with an issue on the handle. Both of the Premier models that I bought (this and a paring knife) are perfectly made. The handle lines up just right with the blade, and there are no imperfections anywhere that I've noticed over years of use. Sharpness may go without saying, but I'll still say it :) - yep, it's sharp. It's not like cutting with this was a whole new experience for me. My less expensive Anolon knives are also pretty sharp - but I like using this knife more. Shun for me is more than just the functional value - it's the aesthetic value. It works great and looks great, and I like using it. There's something to be said for treating yourself or someone else now and again with a product that is just a cut above (sorry...no pun intended), and this is a knife that will stand out in most people's kitchen collection and make them feel good. I've attached some photos of this that hopefully convey some of the aesthetics. I think it's far more beautiful than the stock image here on Amazon conveys. Two big thumbs up from me for this knife. ... show more

    • Wonderful knife
Color: Brown Size: 7"
Like many of the others, I got this when it was on sale, and the value at $89 is astounding. First, it is beautiful, and lets face it, for this level of knife it really should be. The Amazon picture does not do it justice, as it has a wonderful mirror polish over the hand hammered sides. Handles are personal, and I like the handle quite a bit, and have fairly average sized hands and use a fairly standard pinch grip. I'll admit, I went to Sur La Table and test drove the knife prior to purchase from Amazon. I also test drove the Miyabi and Global 7" Santoku knives and both are also quite good. I like the Miyabi Kaizen Santoku as much as the Shun, but the Shun in this case was the better deal. The Global was just as wickedly sharp, but I am not a fan of the handle or balance. As many have noted, the Shun knife comes razor sharp and able to shred newsprint or shave hair off the back of your arms, and more importantly, slides effortlessly through carrots and crisply through long angled cuts of spring onion. As an amateur knife maker, who has fire welded and folded up pattern welded (aka "Damascus") steel billets by hand, I recognize this really isn't anything like a "real" pattern welded blade. (Full disclosure, I am not nearly good enough to make great cutlery!) The stainless Damascus sides on this knife simply protect the hard VG10 steel core and it lacks the fine micro-serrations of a true pattern welded edge. In this respect, the performance of the Shun shouldn't be markedly superior to most other good VG10 knives from Tojiro or a number of others Japanese makers, regardless if they are "Damascus" or not. That said, VG10 is hard enough and wear resistant enough to stay razor sharp with nothing more than a few weekly swipes on a steel, but also can be sharpened much more easily than some very hard steels. It is a near perfect knife steel. The resin impregnated wood handle is glossy and beautiful, and as durable and sanitary a choice as micarta, and better than the phenolic handles on most German blades. Now, I have not had enough time to really get used to the knife, and intend to do an update in a year. Right now, like a kid a couple of weeks after Christmas, it is my new favorite toy in the kitchen. ... show more
