This knife is beautiful. Like all of the Shun Ken Onion knives it is well weighted and extremely sharp (straight from the box). However it is not 10-inches as the above title and description outlines. It is instead only 9-inches. This of course doesn't impact at all on its functionality; it's still incredible. But it begs the question of who measured it for this description... perhaps someone who likes to overestimate in other areas also...

O.K. This is a lot of money for a knife. And yes, I also have the cheap, test kitchen recommended victorinox version, as well. That being said, I was sucked in by the Gold Box deal and the knife is truely a work of art, in both form and function. Wickedly sharp as well as beautiful, it's unique curvature and stunning design make it a joy to use and a coveted kitchen piece when other people see it in use. Did I really need it? of course not. Am I pleased to have what I believe to be the best knife ever? you bet.

Wow this is a very sharp knife. It is also my first Shun. I own a set of Wusthof knives and they pale in comparason to the Shun. Can't wait to get the rest of the set.
