A very poor quality steel. Do not waste your money

I only owned this knife for 8 months during which time it was used very sparingly to cut cheese, fruits and fresh meat. Moreover, it was only hand washed with soap and water. As a result of such mild use the knife’s point broke off and the blade’s edge shows missing chipped fragments. Inconceivable, regarding the price and supposed quality. Despite the high brand’s reputation, the metal used is very brittle and the quality of the knife is extremely poor. In other words, the knife looks pretty but is made of a very poor-quality steel. I strongly recommend to avoid Shun Cutlery knifes and look for quality elsewhere.

Sharp as F!

These are just great. I ended up purchasing a Sankoku and the utility knife as well. Changing up my kitchen game.

Blade chipped

Received this knife as a gift. First time using it, slicing a raw steak, the blade chipped off a half a dime size. Could never use it because the chip threaded everything. I do wanted to love it.

Just a bad knife overall

This knife is not a Japanese knife. It is very heavy and thick, and is handle heavy. It has a very curved belly, not making it even possible to do a Japanese style cut, and you just need to only rock the blade. Anyone who has some experience with a good Japanese gyuto would understand how this knife is not good.

Classic Chef's 8"

Light, sharp, fast. Too, light, maybe... Bought it for my wife, but she prefers a much heavier heel and bolster. Could be rated higher, but I haven't sharpened it yet. Shun makes great products. Their kitchen shears are fantastic "5-Stars".
