Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are shopping for a Shun, I assume you are already familiar with their reputation for razor-sharp edges, so I will address this knife itself.
This slicing knife is a great addition to your set.I recently used it to carve up some beef roasts and I was able to carve paper-thin slices.I didn't experience too much sticking either, this may be due to the Damascus-style pattern that creates micro air-pockets.Therefore, I think this version without the scallops will do just fine.
The knife has a good length that's great for most roasts, a tip that makes it easy to maneuver and a sturdy construction that feels balanced and comfortable. The handle is sturdy and has a slight matte finish that keeps it from being too slippery.
On another note, I have seen this knife advertised on Amazon for about $60 (which is the price I bought it for).It was first listed at $110, then went down to $60, and now as of writing this review it is back up to $110. I am not sure if it's a supplier issue, but you should constantly monitor the prices of the Shuns sold on Amazon due to these fluctuations.In any event, I still think this knife is worth $110 and I believe you will like this knife as much as I have.

Product Description:
Offering a graceful elegance, this 9-inch slicing 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.
