Shun TDM0723 Premier Chef Knife, 6-Inch

Amazing! I have always wanted a Shun knife and decided that this is where I would start; so glad that i did! So sharp, great balance, and comfortable grip. It accommodates my large hand without my knuckles hitting the cutting board bit is not so large that my wife would find it difficult to use. Blade keeps its edge well and is easy to bring back. So very impressed!!

Like some, I collect different kitchen knives as I see fit, all high quality and well reputed. I'd started with Wustof years ago. I have a nice high carbon knife I ordered direct from Japan, and several other knives with each having a specific purpose. I worked in kitchen retail with cutlery as my focus and received a Shun "Classic" paring knife as a "try me" piece. At one point it was the only knife I used in my kitchen. I worked with it exclusively for 4 years and it never needed sharpening (though I've had it professionally sharpened since because it seemed the thing to do). I also own the original Ken Onion Shun Chef's Knife.The last knife mentioned, and my 8" Wustof Classic Chef's knife were too large, heavy and not super agile for my female hands. I very much wanted a 6" Chef and fell in love with the Premier the instant I saw it. Covered my female sensibilities (shiny! pretty! quality feel! really the design is amazing.), and my practical sensibilities (super sharp! durable- as known by reputation and experience! easy to handle and light as a feather!). It is an extremely impressive knife. Though it is not technically "hollow ground" the texturing design very much acts as a "non-stick" surface. The handle fits beautifully in one's hand. However, I'll point out that this knife is not exactly comfortable to hold as one traditionally holds a chef's knife (slightly on the blade) as the bolster does not have a rounded finish at the back end (as does my Wustof)- so I hold it by the handle only and it seems to work best this way, for me. I'm in love!

Excelente producto la verdad vale la pena estoy muy satisfecho. Logra todo los objetivos sinceramente cuando lo recibí pensé que era muy pequeño pero en realidad fue ganador.

Beautifully crafted knife and performs as advertised. Arrived quickly and was packaged well.

This knife is 5 Stars plus. I admit it, I am Stupid. Should have done this years ago, Heay, I was busy trying to build a family houses cars businesses, etc. So, I've been sick lately lots of hospital time. So, I watch a lot of cooking shows. I'm a 65 yr old male. Anyhow. I hadn't bought anything for my self in over 6, 7 yrs. One day I said screw it, I'm gonna get a great Chef's knife. So, I read my but, off on line, I watched you tube vids you name it. The wife thought I was nuts. I like the knifes I use...... your crazy, spending money......., we don't need it. Well, i know what i doing, ( I think) I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a $207.00 knife. I got the 6' cause she cant use our 8' crappy one it's to heavy and long for her little hands. So, the 6' was ordered. I checked for the best price everywhere. I got a way better than average price on sale for it. Anyhow, the knife is so KILLER there are no words for it. This knife is a weapon, it's architecture is stunning, Actually, I still take it out just to look at it often. Cut up a Cantelope, Water Mellon, and Honey Dew the first day. WOW. That was stupid easy. The knife does the work. I also used 2 new band aids. My fault, showing off cutting paper to a friend. I turned my head to fast and caught my finger. So, after a few days the wife comes into the living room and goes I hate to admit it but, I really like that knife. I played it off, Oh, yeah , it's great. The next day she got out her magazine cook books and went for the one pan meals that require many items cut and she went to the store. Hell, she chopped for over 45 minutes and she started singing to herself. She was on her way. LOL. This knife and this company is totally.... maybe the best. ............. I want their matching steak knives problem is there $400.00 for 4. Yikes. I want them so bad. In 4 , 5 yrs there mine. LOL. Any extremely well to do people out there that want to send a nice X-mas gift. Send to Grexa, 304 Clinton, St. Greenville, Pa. 16125 Heay. I'll love ya, forever. And yes, I'm serious. Ok, guys Love ya Later. The knife is Killer Great. The quality is Superb .
