Highlights
Quality
The blade the quality the handle everything is just perfect
A very high quality knife that will last a lifetime
As a caterer im partial to good quality kitchen gear
You need to understand you are going from a low quality do anything knife to a world where knives have a specific purpose
Shipping
I love this knife and use it daily the box came damaged issue with shipping not product but the knife made it through alright
Packaging/appearance
Crazy sharp straight out of the box it keeps its edge well with regular honing
I guess the thinner blade and narrower angle gives the shun a structural advantage regardless of sharpening on the wusthof and calphalon
Competitiveness
I just today ordered a ten dollar 7inch santoku with excellent reviews so i can go back to using the most efficient steps in prep work
Purchased shun 6inch chefs knife through amazon
This is a rather light knife compared to henkels
