Received this knife a few days ago. Family has been treated to any manner of foods that require slicing. This knife is wicked sharp. Beautifully made and a joy to use. I have knife skills that I never knew! I bought a magnetic strip to display. My only worry was the stainless handle but this is a nicely crafted matte finish that is neither cold nor slippery. Grips like the warm wood versions. Love it!

Shun Steel 9-Inch Slicing Knife with Scallops: weight and balance is perfect, and it slices through crusty bread and/or tomatoes like butter! I love it! My wife is left-handed, so I previously bought her a Wustoff lefty's 9-inch bread knife. I like the Shun better.

I'll admit. I got this after hearing Alton Brown of Good Eats recommending the brand. I've been looking for the ultimate kitchen knives for some time. I can now say with certainty that this is one area where the Japanese have one upped the Germans. If you're going to spend good money on good cutlery, you must give these a try. They're no pricier than their German counterparts and the very first cut I made with it sold me. A 9" slicing knife that acts like 9 inches of scalpel. I've had this knife for some time now and while I hit it with honing steel every once in awhile, has retained it's edge immaculately. Still scalpel sharp today. I'm building a collection of these truly top shelf knives and if you appreciate quality cutlery, you should too.
