Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

While it excels in the sharpness department, it is a more delicate knife. It comes out of the box as a razor sharp. The blade is very sharp and a pleasure to use.

The shun is everything i expected. Totally exceed my expectation. I am emotionally attached to this knife. Great knife to have in your arsenal.

The handle bulges to the right to accommodate holding the knife in your right hand. The handle is kind of an oval d shape that fits the grip very comfortably. I do have issues at times with hand cramping.

The one thing i could possibly criticize about this knife is that it does not come with a case, just a thin cardboard shipping sleeve.

A bit pricey but worth every nickel. Shun really stands behind their products and are very eager to help if anything goes wrong.



Cons

I’m astonished at the level of deterioration that has occurred exhibiting a subpar product. The warranty is not honored. I am more than displeased with the way they are handling it.

    I needed a new santoku knife i honestly do not know what happened to my first one


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As for the hollow grinds in the blade i find that food still sticks so if i had to purchase again id probably buy the less expensive blade with no hollows


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The biggest issue might be the d shaped handle
