🔪 Shun Classic 7-Inch Santoku Knife - Blonde PakkaWood Handle, Full Tang VG-MAX Blade Review

I gave this to my son-in-law who works as a chef for Christmas. He told me that he was very happy with the quality of the knife and enjoyed using it.

Bought as a gift as I have had it for over ten years. Incredible knife. Expensive, yes, but. With proper care, your grandchildren will enjoy it.

I have worked in the catering industry for many years and have used many different knives. This is my favorite so far. Browse through products. Very nice to use.

The spine and bolster protrude further from the handle so that none of the spine is exposed when a bamboo vertical…

I'm left handed and this works well enough, the D handle doesn't make much of a difference when using your right hand. The weight and balance is where it really shines. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone trying to break into the higher level knife scene. Definitely better than your regular $20 knife, but…

This is my first quality knife. I was a big fan of the look, the texture of the damascus steel, the light colored handle (very pretty compared to the plastic handles). The Santoku's shape means it's best suited for up and down chopping motions (unlike rounded blades, which are more of a wiggling motion). So far I've mostly used a chef's knife, so it's a slightly different technique and takes some getting used to. The knife is damn sharp and the steel is noticeably harder than my other knives. I
