Of course it very sharp.

Of course it very sharp. But this one is balanced well. It is stable and easy to control the knife edge. I love to shred cabbage, cucumbers and other vegetables into fine strings for salad and decoration.

I now have 6 Shun

I now have 6 Shun knives, for different uses. But I have to admit, I LOVE the Kiritsuke and prefer it over my traditional chefs knife. Plus, the premier handle is a better fit in my hand.

The purchase was a great

The purchase was a great choice. In addition to the 8” Kiritsuke, I also own the both the Shun Primer 8” Chef's and the 7” Santoku Knives. They are all great knives, offering different belly designs. In that I found that I prefer the straighter knife edge on the Kiritsuke Knife. You can’t go wrong with any one of these knives. It’s Kiritsuke that is my preference. for slicing and push cuts.

Chef's Knife

I rec'd one as a gift and I find myself using it over a french knife or nakiri. Its a little heavy to be using all day but as a home knife thats a non-issue. (I honestly love the weight)

8” Premier Kiritsuke

I have just added this beautifully made Kiritsuke to my set. If you have a larger hand. The Premier sets are wonderful for someone with a larger hand. This knife is well made, just as sharp as it looks. It has been a great offset to using my chef’s knife. So I don’t have to use the same Knife twice as much and I think it is a great addition to my growing collection. Thank y’all for the great craftsmanship!

cuts like it looks....great!

I have an 8" chef classic Shun knife I purchased a while back. I thought my Classic was sharp. This knife is sharper by far. I also feel the Kiritsuke is easier to handle than my chef--my new fav

Great Knives - among the best

Shun knives are among the best! I bought this knife for my son who has quite a few Shun knives. He carries them wherever he goes if he thinks he'll be preparing a meal. He is a very very good amateur chef and takes pride in the tools he uses to prepare the meals. All the best, Richard

Precision

This knife is light weight and helps steady my hands to stay precise when slicing veggies or smaller cuts of meat.
