Questions & Answers

It is true that this knife has full-sized blades This knife has a full tang and is one of the best There is a razor-edged edge to this knife as it is a slicing knife A very thin edge makes the blade ideal for cutting bone and joints instead of bone or joints.

What is the packaging for the shun classic 6" utility knife?

You are right. The type of cutlery you'll find in a grocery store.

Here are four ways the free lie works - How much time do you spend sharpening your Does proof of purchase need to be provided? A receipt is not included with the majority of Amazon purchases. ?

When it comes to receipts, you can always request one from Amazon when placing your order. To select an order, click the envelope icon. The order details page appears. I believe they do not require a receipt at all for returning any shoe knives back to the factory for sharpening as long as you pay for the shipping back. Schuman's website has instructions for sending any shoe knives back to the factory for sharpening. I have owned quite a few kitchen knives, so after all, I can tell you that your shun knife should be very satisfied with you. Just make sure you care for it well, and sharpening should only be needed frequently.

For those with little knife experience, this is a great knife
5/5

Having used it for the last year, I have no complaints. There are many great features on this knife, including a great grip, great weight and a great It is true that there are more expensive knives with better capabilities, but for me, this is a very happy medium between price and features. If you are using the product, rinse immediately after If you are planning on putting the handle in a dishwasher, I do not recommend it as the handle is made of gorgeous wood, so you might not get good results.

It's going to take me awhile to get used to this knife after withholding Henkels for the last ten years or so
5/5

I've tried extra-large knives in a variety of sizes for breaking down large vegetables (whole cabbage for example), but this one is the slickest I've ever tried for the types of cutting that a utility knife in its size should be used.

I find it difficult to use because it is so light
3/5

The Shun knife is a favorite of some, but after this purchase it will be my last, and the knife will be relegated to a drawer rather than being used every day. Occasionally, you may even want to do this. Do you plan to marry any time soon? There is too much weight for my liking and the handle is too thin and small for my hands (I have larger hands than most). I feel that it is more like a Yanagiba than a 'utility' knife. does not fit well in my hand. As I have not sliced any fish with it, I did not have the opportunity to find out how it performs. There is no way that this thing is meant for meat in any way, no matter what they think. This should be of some help to you.

It was well worth the wait! The first time I bought a good kitchen knife was many years ago There is a significant difference in price between them that I cannot imagine being worth it
5/5

In light of my recent change of heart, I have decided to change My new knife is a pleasure to use, and I now understand how less you run the risk of cutting yourself with a sharp knife as opposed to a dull knife from.

Small tasks are made easy with this knife
5/5

Fruit and vegetables are my favorite (since I am dating a vegan), so this is where we always cut them. My Shun chef knife is a favorite of mine, but this is even better for smaller tasks like peeling garlic or cutting bell peppers. Everything is sharp to the point of being painful. Because I have a large hand, learning how to hold this product resulted in a little injury, but I use it on a daily basis now that I have mastered how to do it.

Great blade - I like it a lot! Making the purchase was a difficult decision for me
5/5

I am happy that I did, though I was hesitant at first. The balance is excellent, it's comfortable to hold, it's sharp and light. A word of caution on the tip! What a sharp piece of work!

This product has been used on a number of items by my wife. Since she started giving me examples of how easy it was for her to cut food she struggled with, I knew it was the right decision. You could get her to pick up a slice of something and exclaim how SMOOTH it was and how easy it was to slice. The tool was used to slice filets of meat. During my first use of the blade I quickly forgot all my reservations and hesitations, as I sliced through the filets like it was hot stick through soft butter. A bread knife and a larger knife will be the next blades. A blade with a length of 12".

Knives of great quality
5/5

Compared to other knives, Shun knives are great. This model is one of four of my cups -- I have an 8" Chef, 7" Asian, and a Paring. The other knives I own are not even close to these. I am incredibly picky about what knives I own. Japanese knives have a steep edge angle, so they have a sharp edge. They are very easy to use because of that. In addition to being hard and durable, steel is also very durable. The 7" Asian blade on my knife has never needed sharpening. In order to maintain the quality of my knives, I take great care of them. I wash my knives before placing them on the magnetic knife holders and then dry them. There's no question you can pay more to impress your friends, but I highly doubt you will get a better knife. They're an obvious choice.

The investment is totally worth it
5/5

In the end, I did not buy a nice set of blades until I got tired of having to keep replacing them. The vegetables cut really nice and I no longer have to saw them. I was afraid they wouldn't be worth the price but they are perfect. It is so nice that they have been sharp for months without me having to sharpen them.
