Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Offering a graceful elegance, this 8-inch carving knife from the Shun Steel line is made with a seamless, one-piece stainless-steel bolster, handle, and end cap. The blade is made from VG-10 steel with a high carbon content for a higher density. This allows the steel to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61, and still have the flexibility and strength to take and keep a perfect edge. It's clad in layers of high-carbon stainless steel that protect the VG-10 and give the Shun its Damascus-look pattern, which also helps ensure that foods stick less during slicing and dicing--resulting in faster and easier food preparation.

Shun knives rely on traditional Japanese construction methods, including a full composite tang, in order to ensure the best balance. The D-shape of the stainless steel handle is designed to tuck into the palm and provide more control to the user by leaving less space between handle and hand (the handle also fits nicely between the thumb and fingers of a left-handed user). This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended. Made in Japan. NSF approved.

Great knife, very sharp, very long! It looks very good and we got it at a special deal price, so it was a great buy. I already have 2 Henkels cook knifes and they feel a lot heavier and more solid (thicker steel). This one feels light. I am not sure if I'd like it as much for full price (>$100). Also, if you are looking for the first real good knife in your kitchen, probably not the best starter. But as an addition for a good price definitely an attraction for display and great to use. You just need to get used to the length.
