Review on Shun Classic 6-inch Ultimate Utility Knife: Versatile, High-Performance Japanese Handcrafted Kitchen Knife with VG-MAX Cutting Core and Damascus Cladding by Julius Lito

This is a great knife for slicing crusty bread and making snacks. It is also good for slicing tomatoes and is very comfortable to hold. Bagels don't stand a chance against this knife. Be sure to hand wash this knife only, dry thoroughly with a clean, soft towel and store in a pad or on a magnetic stick. This knife is also very sharp so keep that in mind if you are new to Japanese knives. There are several videos on YouTube showing Elton Brown demonstrating his Shun knives and they are definitely worth watching. While this knife is not an absolute must-have for the home cook, it is a great addition to any collection of quality knives. I think it would be a great gift for a Shun lover who doesn't have it in their collection. If you throw a lot of parties and like to serve your guests homemade snacks, this knife will make your cooking a lot easier.
