Product details
Web ID: 988601Sharpness
Love rhe weight and feel of the knife but th re’s a learning curve when cutting. Out of the box it did not feel sharp enough to cut carrots so I honed the blade and it performed better.
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
