Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are looking for a nimble knife to help you do fine mincing and vegetable work... this is a terrific option. Like most of the Kai/ Shun knives I own, this has a D shaped handle (sorry, it's for right handers), but this one is also "single" sided blade, making the blade extraordinarily precise.
Construction is more than likely a "rat-tail" style tang than the fully forged tang of their "Damascus steel" style knives, which is why this is about $40 or so less than the some of the other knives. Still a well constructed knife, will be more blade heavy.
The blade itself is really quite thick for this style of knife, making a fairly substantial heft, considering the style. It is my preference to use a slightly heavier blade (I'm a big guy). Beautifully forged and polished, the back of the blade is smooth and the edges rounded, so makes "choking up" on the blade far more comfortable than some.
This knife does one thing... it minces and slices (mostly) vegetables and beautifully. This cannot take on the skins of Hard Winter Squashes... this is not a "rough service blade" like a Federick Dick Chefs knife. This can certainly do lovely cuts on fillets for sushi and chicken pieces, but this isn't a bone or a butcher knife.
Keep up the blade with a Fiskars Roll Sharp, don't EVER put any knife in a dishwasher... and you should probably never have a problem with this knife.
