Shun Steel Angled 6-Inch Utility Knife

This knife is beautiful and very sharp. However, after two months of use, it seems to be getting dull already compared to when it first arrived. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with it, but I do clean it and dry it by hand after every use. I have never let food dry on the knife, or placed it in the dish washer. I always clean it with a small amount of dish detergent and a Mr. Clean eraser (melamine sponge) along the blade sides. I’m very puzzled as to why such a nice knife would dull so fast as even really inexpensive knives do not seem to dull so noticeably after a few months of use. The dulling is most noticeable when cutting tomatoes as their skins can be difficult for dull knives to pierce cleanly.
My only other thought is that my cutting board may not be suitable for the knife. If my standard polypropylene cutting board isn’t good enough for the knife, using Shun knives probably involves too much upkeep/maintenance effort for me. Although the knives are beautiful and sharp, they’re just too delicate for this average everyday cook.

Blade is sharp but very fragile and brittle. Fell off counter two weeks in and tip broke off and blade bent. Never had that happen with any other knife. Expensive lesson learned

My wife cooks a lot and uses this knife often. She loves it. I hate spending this kind of money on a knife, but this is worth the dollars.

Knife is very sharp and really like the angle for cutting vegetables. Got a great deal through Amazon.

The 10 degree angle to the handle and the incredibly sharp blade make for great slicing. However, within a week of use, the blade got a chip in it and started to rust around the damage. We never dropped it but did put it in the sink with other dishes to hand wash. So be warned this knife is incredibly fragile. If you treat your knives like delicate artwork, this knife is for you. If you expect your knife to be a tool that holds up to mild use, stay away.
