Shun Cutlery Kanso 8-Inch Stainless Steel, All Purpose, Durable, Essential, Handcrafted Japanese Gyuto Style Chef’s Knife; Scratch Resistant Heritage Finish for Kitchen Food Preparation Tasks at Home

I absolutely love this knife. It feels great in the hand; has a little weight, durable, perfect size, razor sharp, and seems to glide with ease when cutting stuff up. I bought the Nakiri version because I loved this knife so much, which led to buying the shun classic cleaver. Highly recommend. My Shun knives are just so much better than my Miyabi knives (going to sell those for more Shuns). They are sharper, hold an edge longer, they aren’t flimsy, and have a more comfortable hand feel. Best knives I’ve ever owned.

Bought this in May 2022. Was so excited to receive it as it was truly sharp. The sharpness dissipated after a day of use. I have a sharpener. I have to constantly sharpen the blade before using in order to achieve the sharpness of Day 1. Yesterday I cut thawing beef and the knife just chipped! I've used other brands, even cheap ones, and this has never happened. I know proponents of Shun will say I used it wrongly but then why can other knives of similar or better standard withstand cutting thawing meat? Why is shun particularly fragile. For $150, I'd consider this quite frankly a garbage knife. I've never had to sharpen my knives every time before use!

Love this knife. Good quality and edge retention

Espetacular

Lo compre en oferta me parece, tengo que decir que me encanta el diseño, es de muy buena calidad los materiales, y luce genial cuando lo sacas a trabajar. Su filo de fabrica es muy bueno para cortes de precisión. Sin duda lo recomiendo.
