I got this knife recently and I am satisfied so far.
Based on the price and earlier reviews I was expecting much more from this knife, I was slightly disappointed.
The knife itself is nice and sharp and serves my purpose, but is slightly lacking in sharpness when compared to other knives in the same price range.
The build quality packing and presentation is excellent though.

I was ambivilant about this knife when I first got it- the grip is not very ergonomic or comfortable- but I fell in love with it because of its performance. Unfortunately, within 6 months of heavy household use (no dishwasher, no dropping on the floor, no cutting on anything but cutting boards) this knife developed several sizeable chips that have been very difficult to sharpen away. It has been relegated back to the chopping block for most potential applications in my kitchen.

This knife is wonderful for most prep work. Always use a steel rod after washing and it should hold its edge forever. Wonderful knife.

It is very sharp & just right for my hand to handle cutting Veggie & Fruits.
I purchased 8 inch Chef’s knife but it is little too big to use daily
cutting. It is good for cut something hard item.

Don’t be fooled by”imitations” like Henckels, Kyocera, Wusthor, etc. … they all need to be shapened after a time (as does Shun) . The difference is, that after you sharpen your Shun, you still have the beautiful damascus steel. It’s my opinion that the damascus technique does seem to hold a sharper edge longer than the alloy SS and is comparable and less fussy than the ceramics.
Even this 6″ utility knife is a work of kitchen art for the discerning. Shun provides world class cutlery steel in damascus mode and that’s about all that can be said
