No need for another knife
My new utility knife! I used this knife to cut onions, tomatoes and even a fresh loaf of white bread i had just baked. This knife worked like magic!

Knife Nirvana
8 years ago I took a knife skills class and have been developing my skills in the kitchen ever since, but hadn't found what was for me the perfect knife...UNTIL NOW. This Kaji Dual-Density is the one I've been looking for. Comfortable in the hand, scary sharp, and looks good too...It's knife nirvana

Great Bread Knife
This is a replacement for my Shun Ultimate Utility knife. The small serrations and the scalloped waves make it ideal for not only soft or crusty bread, but eggplants and squashes as well. I never appreciated this knife so much until I cut up several loaves of buttered bread for strata. It's a nice mini-saw for the kitchen.

Say "hello" to my new best friend!
This knife is the penultimate knife for sharpness! I have been collecting Shun Kaji knives for over a year-and-a-half, and this is my latest baby. If I had MY way, I would have bought the entire set in the beginning because now I have 6 knives and the sharpener; the cost for individual knives has now surpassed the cost for the set. ALL their knives cut as cleanly and as sharply as razors, so BE CAREFUL how you use them. And chastise anyone who drops the knife in the sink, POINT DOWN! Now, when my husband asks what I want for my birthday or any other gift-buying occasion, I alwys tell him that he already purchased me a new knife. I could not be happier than I am with these marvelous knives. They truly spoil the chef!

Cuts like butter
I have used several brands of knives in the past. I was very satisfied. Now that I have the Shun Kaji knife I can put the others in a drawer,

Work of Art That Works!
I purchased this knife as a gift for someone whose sharpest knife was the plastic one that comes with take-out food. It is a truly beautiful and versatile instrument. The handle also accomodates left- and right-handed users unlike the Classic line's D handle. I have since purchased for her the 5" Santoku of the same series for smaller jobs. She now enjoys cooking in a whole new way because of the ease of preparation and the beauty of the instrument.

Great all around knife
Beautiful, very sharp, easy to handle, a great addition as it can be used daily in a variety of ways. Slicing bread and tomatoes is easy with this knife plus it also chops other foods as well. great price, we'll worth the investment.

My least favorite Shun knife
Just not one of my favorite Shun designs. Half way between a utility knife, bread knife, and santuko. Blade was too thin for thick handle. I absolutely love the 6 inch utility knife, nagiri, western chef, and paring knife.
