Really Helpful Knife Set
The first point I want to make is: these are some very sharp knives. The blade is incredible, so much so that I wanted to put that first, just so you'd know. I was looking for some knives to round out my collection, and wanted them mostly for fine cutting of veggies, and of fruit for garnishing, and for general kitchen prep that doesn't demand a giant chef's knife, fine detail work. I really wanted knives that were comfortable and perfectly balanced, and that were flexible enough for different types of tasks. After searching, I decided on these, because I liked the range of blades, and because I've been making a lot of veggie heavy Asian dishes--these seemed perfect. And, they've worked wonderfully, and have that balance and comfort level that makes chopping a whole bowl of carrots a pleasure, and not a chore. And the edges: so sharp, and they don't seem to be losing any of the sharpness yet. Overall, I'm very happy with this set.

Nice set
Shun makes the best kitchen knives I have ever owned, bar none. The Ken Onion designs are uniquely ergonomic and very functional. They all come with a razor sharp edge right out of the box and are easy to re-hone with just a few strokes on a steel (a Shun steel is well worth purchasing to accompany this set). The weight and balance of all these knifes are perfect, even the smallest one, and the perfectly crafted profiles chop or slice through darn near anything (food-like anyway) with ease. I strongly recommend using a quality hardwood or bamboo chopping board to protect your investment. Courion or other hard substances are much harder on the blade edge; you'll have to resharpen it much more often.

Shun Knives by Kershaw are designed by Ken Onion, one of the worlds top knife designers. This Shun Ken Onion 3-piece set features our unique offset bolster design to fit your hand like a glove. The wider bolster is designed with contour curved thumb and forefinger rests to reduce tension while cutting. The extra curve on the blade allows for an easier flowing motion across the cutting board. You'll be slicing and carving like an expert with control and confidence. The knife is made of VG-10 steel and layered with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side of the blade. During the finishing process the layers are exposed creating a beautiful pattern that not only protects the VG-10 core, it simultaneously creates a blade surface that resists food sticking to it, a real time-saver for kitchen prep. Combine all of these features with the sharpest Japanese edge available, and you have perfection. This set includes the following three Shun Ken Onion knives: 3-inch Paring knife DM0516, 4-inch Chef's knife DM0510 and the 7-inch Hollow-Ground Santoku knife DM0517. Manufactured in Seki City Japan, the home of Shun knives. Top to learn more
Need a holder
Great set of knives for people who need to fill out their empty knife-blocks. We had been admiring Shun knives for the longest time, but we cannot afford to put down >$500 for a set of knives at one time. Therefore, we told advantage of the lightning deals and bought these immediately. Beautifully constructed. Will now start to fill out my own Shun Ken Onion series!

I didn't know what sharp was until I got this one
I got this knife as a kind of impulsive indulgence, I think it looked cool in its own holder and I had heard good things about Shun knives. However, all those good things are true. It is by far the sharpest knife I've owned, and I've got Henckel Zwillings (not the cheapo kind you get at Target) that have been sharpened to what I USED to think was the sharpest blade around.I'm not dissing the Henckels - if I had not indulged in the Shun I would have been very happy with their performance. But I did get a chance to make some observations on how the Shun shone (no, it's not the same "u" as in "Sun" but it's a borderline pun):- Ripe tomato: The Shun needed no sawing action whatsoever. It cut the initial waxy and soft skin like it was being dipped in water. All my other knives need to break the skin either with pressure, angle, or a teensy bit of sawing motion- Dish brush: While cleaning the blade side with a circular motion in sudsy water (safe for...

Just the best
I own more than 100 knives made by most well known manufacturers of fine cutlery. I have a masters degree in food science and I worked my way through grad school as a butcher and instructor of meat cutting and meat processing at a major University. This is the finest knife I have ever owned. It is so fun to use I think up things to do with it as entertainment. Take it from an "expert" this knife cannot be beat. Read the other positive reviews. I have given this knife to my brother and my son (both are gourmet cooks) and they love it as well. Spend the money and have a ball. I have no use for a reviewer who holds a knife in a store and writes a negative one star review.

Shun Knives are Beautiful, Elegant, and the Sharpest around
I have a whole set of these blades, so I'm breaking down my review to two parts: Review of the Shun Classic Blades, and the portion as it pertains to this knife in particular.I absolutely love this knife and it's my main work horse knife. The 8" blade is perfect size for everyday uses for chopping, dicing, smashing garlic, etc.. In my daily cooking, I reach for this knife first, and may pair it up with the Paring Knife for smaller tasks. I love the look and feel of this knife, I love that it's so unique and beautiful, I love that it comes with it's own bamboo stand for disply when not in use. I don't hold this knife only by the handle though, I wrap my hand around the handle and base of the blade to give me a very steady hand. Many chefs do this with regular knives and that's where I got the idea from, it allows more control and steadiness (you really feel this when you're using the larger knives). I'm right handed and do rest my left hand on the curve on top of the...

Creating a new trend for knife design, this Shun chef's knife by Kershaw introduces some clever innovations for effortless yet accurate handling. The 8-inch Damascus blade features a generous tip, curved cutting edge, and wide surface area to easily handle any number of food prep tasks. The specially contoured bolster balances the blade while also releasing arm tension, smoothing movements, and maintaining optimal safety--perfect for a busy home chef. With forged VG-10 stainless-steel construction, the knife resists corrosion and rust and maintains an extremely sharp edge for years of use.
Adding strength and beauty, the Pakkawood handle casts a deep, warm glow as it displays a lovely line that invites the home cook to pick it up again and again. The reward is a well-balanced, highly maneuverable tool that feels wonderfully at home in the hand without slipping or rubbing. This versatile knife was created by Ken Onion, one of the world's top knife designers. A wooden holder suspends the knife just above the long base so it won't dull the blade. The set comes in a handsome gift box. --Kara Karll Top to learn more

Sharp, very very sharp, but not a true santoku
I should start by saying this is not a true santoku. The reason I say this is because the edge has a considerable rocker to it (curve), unlike the traditional and much flater santoku blade. In fact, the rocker is much closer to the shape of a regular chef's knife. The good news is that this means people accustomed to western chef's knives can jump right into this knife. The bad news? If you're used to a flater santoku this knife will not chop as much (since less of the blade is in play) and it's a little harder to use this blade to scoop the things you've just cut. If you like to rock-and-chop, this knife will do it better than any other santoku. If you like to drop-chop, then this knife isn't going to get quite as long a chop. I like both, so I'm quite happy the knife can perform both jobs.As advertised, this knife comes with one of the sharpest factory edges you could ever ask for. So far the edge holds up extremely well, a few stroke on the steel and knife edge...

My Best Kitchen Knife
This review is for the Santoku with scallops. This is the best kitchen knife that I have gotten. I have Kasumi, Kyocera ceramic, Henckles, plus some Japanese sashimi knives. This is the sharpest knife that I have gotten from the factory. It is far sharper than my ceramics.I first saw the knife being used in a knife class in a cooking school.The scallops work very nicely to prevent tomato slices from sticking to the blade. One of the ways that I know a knife is sharp is how it cuts into the skin of a tomato. It takes almost no force with the Shun. You can just pull it and the weight of the blade cuts into the tomato!As mentioned before, the handle is for right handers and feels really good. I have never gotten used to the real chef way of grasping the blade between the thumb and index finger. If you do it this way, the handle shape doesn't make much of a difference.This is the first santoku blade that I have gotten. I like the depth, but...

Great knife and very sharp
I've been reading a lot about Santoku granton edge knives lately and decided to get one. All my knives are from Kershaw Shun line and I'm very happy with them, so I bought this one to add to my collection. First impression on opening the box "WOW this thing is BIG." I didn't think I'd be able to use this knife because I have small hands and the balance felt off. So it sat in its nice presentation box for a while. I finally decided to use it and almost took couple of fingers off. It's an extremely sharp knife and my other Kershaws weren't this sharp. It did take some getting used to, but now I love this knife. I don't use it every day, but if I need to do a lot of slicing and chopping I take it out. It gets the job done much quicker than my other knives and is a pleasure to use. Almost no pressure is required to cut, just let the knife fall and it cuts all the way down to your board. This knife requires all of your attention on it, otherwise you'll seriously hurt yourself...

A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this multipurpose Santoku knife comfortably handles any kitchen cutting need from chopping to mincing, dicing, and slicing. Resembling something between a chef’s knife and a cleaver, this tool features a wide blade measuring 6-1/2 inches in length. The scalloped detailing along the knife’s cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering its steel surface.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold Top to learn more

The Shun Ken Onion line features the beautiful woodgrain look of Damascus steel also known as "suminigashi." The Damascus-look blade profile also reduces friction when cutting, resulting in cleaner cuts, faster prep times and better flavor in your foods. In addition to high performance blades, this line features curved handles to neatly nestle into the natural contours of the hand. The bellies of the blades are curved to reduce cutting fatigue and provide versatility. The wider bolster with contour curved thumb and forefinger rests reduces tension during cutting. This design also provides relief for cooks who have large amounts of prep work to do or who suffer with sore or fatigued hands. Features: 5" Blade VG10 "Super Steel" clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing a 33-layer rust-free Damascus look. VG-10's Rockwell Hardness rating of 61 ensures that it takes and holds its indredibly sharp edge longer. Ken Onion's signature curved handle for an ergonomic and comfortable grip. Set includes carving knife and carving fork in gift box. Free Lifetime Warranty and Lifetime Sharpening from Shun included.. Top to learn more

Practical art!
This is my third Shun knife and my second Ken Onion. They come quite literally sharper than a razor in that the edge lasts longer and it unbelievably sharp. I sharpen mine about once a month. Sending to Kershaw would take way too long. Blade is heavy and very thick, great for cutting through bone (which is why I bought it) but still sharp enough to slice through bits of skin. If you want the images to remain longer clean them with a gentle toothbrush or they will come off over time. Ergo handle very comfortable to use. Also have the 7" santoku knife with same handle. Look very attractive sitting on the counter and ready for action when needed. Love it!

Chop
I've wanted a nice cleaver since I saw the Mortal Kombat character 'Meat' hacking away at his foes with a sweet pair of them, or was it the Swedish Chef recklessly flailing away in the kitchen on the Muppet Show in the mid 70's? Anywho. Due to a youthful affinity for the tool paired with the occasional lite butchery I've been doing from watching too much of the 'Food Network', i felt it was time to invest in a piece that was sturdy, functional & decorative. The Shun Ken Onion Cleaver does not disappoint on any of these criteria. It's like having one of those decorative battle-axes or Harry Potter swords on the wall that is actually functionally useful for cooking. It easily dispenses with meats, is well balanced, sharp & ergonomically feels like an extension of your hand. When the zombie apocalypse comes to wipe out humanity, I have no doubt that my Shun Ken Onion Cleaver will be a highly effective tool when close range combat becomes a necessity.

top chop!
This is a very nice cleaver, very sharp, very solid and I personally like the style of the handle(I have big hands). It has a thick blade with a good wieght and was very sharp on receival(still is). It has made all the other chefs I work with quite envious. I have used it to chop a few things, mostly small and large cartilage joints, poultry frames and smaller bones like ribs with no problems at all, the edge has stayed sharp all the way through... so far.I will continue to use my larger cleaver for more heavy duty carcase breakdown and keep this one for special occasions, although I am sure this cleaver would have no problem going through just about anything without dinging the blade.If you have the money to blow this is a stylish useful tool to have around the kitchen
