Shun Classic 10-Inch Chef's Knife Immediately

I got this knife a few years ago.

The knife developed a very small chip along the blade which I wasn't happy about.

This knie should be like my friend. A buddy for life. It just isn't that. I dont know.. I can't put my finger on it.

The index finger when you are holding it digs into corner. Look at the pic of the knife and you can see how square that corner is. Thus, it feels uncomfortable cutting with it.. it's not weighted very well, it doesnt have a natural rocking motion.. it's not that sort of knife.. People said that before I bought it but I was inexperienced with using good knives. I got it and love it at first because I never used a good knife before. It was real sharp compared to the other knives I used.

But now that I'm more experienced I say it's a knife you grab 'only when'.

I guess it just doesn't feel like my partner... my 'main knife'. Cooking is an art. This knife is not that life partner. It's hard to explain.

Yes it's sharp and that's why I got it, but I should have listened to other people said the sharpness should not be the most important factor when choosing a knife. Cutting vegetables seem akward with this.. un natural.

Maybe I'll try a high end Wusthof classic knife next. I know it wont be as sharp but I need something that doesn't leave a calis on my finger and feels more natural to cut with.. a life partner.Get more detail about Shun Classic 10-Inch Chef's Knife.
