Cheapest Shun 7-3/4-Inch Stainless Steel Chinese Chef's Knife

This is not a knife for everyone, but for those who like this kind of knife, it's wonderful. I bought this to cook Chinese food mainly and it is wonderfully sharp and well-balanced. I still prefer my santoku because I'm more used to the size and weight of it, but I can tell this is a really good knife. When my in-laws (who are excellent Chinese-food cooks) come over to cook -- they like to do this every now and then -- they go straight for this knife, and absolutely love it. They grew up using large knives like this and say it's the best they've ever used. It's really sharp and has a beautiful blade. Since it's all one piece, it's also easy to clean. It is a big knife and excellent for slicing and chopping, but not for a beginner chef, in my opinion. I'm learning to use it and I can understand why some people have trouble holding it and feel like it's sharp on their hands. I felt that way too until I was shown "the correct" way to hold it. Also, it's large, so it doesn't fit upright in most drawers in a drawer knife holder, so either a magnetic wall knife holder, or space in a drawer lying flat are needed. I give it 4 stars because I prefer the molded or wooden handle grips and it's heavy and difficult to hold correctly for newbies like I once was.Get more detail about Shun 7-3/4-Inch Stainless Steel Chinese Chef's Knife.
