Shun Classic Blonde 8" Chef's Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife for Professional and Home Chefs, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle

This quality knife performs beautifully and it remains sharp as long as any knife. It has a thinner kerf than many alternatives so it feels nimble and lightweight. I prefer the handle to squared-up designs. Absolutely no fatigue. With this capable knife, prep tasks are a pleasure. Please don't purchase this implement unless you plan to sharpen it properly or professionally. It supports an alarmingly sharp edge and with occasional maintenance it stays that way.

Beautiful, real real real Sharp. I just received it so I comment on the longevity of it, but pretty sure it’s gonna pass.Small restaurant owner.

Product is very good. Arrived Faster

It was dangerously sharp out the box. It’s very brittle but can hold an edge. Needs a cover. Very nice!

Beautiful knife good value very sharp

Slicing tomatoes and onions isn't a problem, with the thin design the slices don't stick and you can go very thin. It's my go to knife for all things and it's light, very little strain on wrists.

Used this one as my daily knife at work, sharp and easy to clean.

The 8 inch Shun handles very well. Just received it yesterday but have use it to slice vegetables and thinly sliced a piece of meat.
