Good choice

My initial concern was blade being on the short side. But it turns out to be perfect. Quality is top notch and overall feel is good. A+ .

Not Sharp Enough

Love the design. It's a beautiful knife. And it's reasonably sharp, but given the reputation of Shun, I am disappointed that it is not sharper. I have knives that haven't been sharpened in a year that are sharper. I suppose I could try to sharpen it myself to get a better edge, but it's baffling that it did not arrive razor sharp.

Wish it was a little

Wish it was a little bigger, but cuts like a dream. I have a few Shun Premier knives and I can’t imagine I could be swayed to buy from anyone else

Exceptional knife!!

I have Ben using this knife for over a month now and feel I can give a considered opinion on this knife. The reality is that this is truly an exceptional knife. The quality of this knife is indisputable, but it is the balance & functionality that makes it stand above any knife I have used. I have a shun santoku knife with a Ken Onion handle that is my utility knife and has always impressed me, but it doesn’t even compare or this Nakiri blade for chopping and processing quickly and precisely. Don’t hesitate to purchase this knife!
