Wonderful knife!

This knife is wonderful to use and beautifully made. The grip feels narrow, but I find this shape easier to control than the Shun Classic series. I’m amazed at how easily it slices through not so ripe tomatoes I’m still getting used to using the light touch.

My new versatile favorite

This is light, sharp, beautifully balanced in the hand. I’ve had several chef’s knives over the years and this one fits my hand perfectly. It is a little smaller in size so I wouldn’t recommend it for big meats but for most things, this is the knife I reach for. This is the knife I can use for most prep work all day. It arrived very sharp so I won’t have to work it on a stone for a long time. All that said, it is also pretty to look at and hangs prominently over my Boos block.

Laser in your hand.

I already own a few kaji chef's knives and am impressed with the SG2 steel. I really don't need anymore knives but I loved the profile of this knife. More of a Gyotu shape and makes great work with push cutting delicate vegetables. This is my dedicated shallot/fine herb knife. I love using this knife.

Perfect size

I have a bunch of Shun Kaji knives. They are top-tier quality, using one of the highest grade knife-steels available, and they are all about performance. SG2 gets harder (which means sharper) than any other stainless knife steel, and stays sharp longer. We all (should?) know that and 8" chef knife is standard in the kitchen. It does 90% of the work. But does it ever feel just a bit too big or heavy? Recently, I've been thinking a lot about this. 6" seems a bit to small for so many tasks so I've just dealt with using an 8" for so long. UNTIL NOW! This knife, at 7" is absolutely perfect. I've had it for less than a week and in that time I haven't even picked up the 8" chef. This just does it all! I haven't weighed it, but the blade feels significantly lighter. Not just from being shorter, but also from having a smaller profile. It feels so nimble in the hand. It's incredible to use, and I highly recommend this knife for someone like me adding to a collection, or even someone looking for their first Shun. I am a man with large hands but I can see this working perfectly for women, or those with smaller hands as well. Totally get this knife!
