I tried this against what we had considered our absolute best knives. One is the top of the line Wusthof.
I sharpened all the knives to the point where I felt they could be sharpened no more. I did not sharpen the Shun.
I then took string beans, normal green string beans, and I tried each knife at cutting off the tops while holding them in my hands in mid air.
It was a random event as to whether or not any of the other knives would actually cut the bean. Most often the bean would break or the knife would just bend it. But with some effort I was able to get the Wusthov to work.
The Shun, sliced through them like butter almost every time. Hit the top on one side, gone, the other side and into the bowl.
I did this on two pounds of beans and by the time I got to the second pound, the Shun had not only Wun (pun intended), it had wiped out the competition. I am sold.
I will try to post a video of this test at a later time. I was shocked by the result.Get more detail about Shun Ken Onion 4 Inch Chef's Knife.
