Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Classic 7-Inch Santoku Hollow Ground
Customer Review: Simply the best Santoku. Sharp and beautiful.
Summary: 5 Stars
After thoroughly reviewing all the forums, reviews, and recommendations I could find on quality santoku knives, this is the one I chose, and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.
In rough order, taking many factors into consideration, I would rate the major santoku knives:
1. Shun 7" Santoku with Hollow Ground Edge
2. Misono UX10 Santoku Knife
3. Wusthof Classic Ikon Santoku 7" with Hollow Ground Edge
4. Global G-48 7" Santoku With Hollow Ground Edge
The Damascus Steel of the Shun line of knives is quite simply the most beautiful knife blade you will see. A technology that traces back over a 1000 years, and legendary for its strength and beauty, it performs even better than it looks.
As for the sharpness of the blade, it is top notch out of the box, razor sharp. The blade itself is made of VG-10 steel which is the very best. It should last you a lifetime (literally) if taken care of properly - washed by hand, stored on a magnetic or wooden block, and sharpened properly.
The handle of the knife is also unique, and the quite simply, the best. Its D-shaped handle perfectly curves to the contours of your hand, and provides the perfect grip on the blade. Even when wet from preparing ingredients, your hand will not slip and your grip will be secure.
After purchasing the Shun Santoku and Sharpening Steel, I am certainly going to fill out the 3-knife chef set with a paring knife and a bread knife.
Description of Shun Classic 7-Inch Santoku Hollow Ground
This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this multipurpose Santoku knife comfortably handles any kitchen cutting need from chopping to mincing, dicing, and slicing. Resembling something between a chef's knife and a cleaver, this tool features a wide blade measuring 6-1/2 inches in length. The scalloped detailing along the knife's cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering its steel surface.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife's aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
