Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Classic 7-Inch Santoku Hollow Ground

Customer Review: Primary kitchen knife
Summary: 4 Stars

The Shun Santoku is my primary knife in the kitchen, although sometimes I switch to my standard chef's knife. I appreciate the curved blade of the Shun which makes dicing easier than the traditional santoku blade, which is flat. I'm left-handed and have both the left-handed and right-handed Shuns. The knife handle orientation isn't a noticeable difference but maybe it's just me. The knife is sharp as heck...be careful! I use the Shun more than my Aritsugu's (Japanese hand forged knives); one thing, the Shun doesn't rust which is an advantage over the Japanese blades. Also, in my opinion, the Shun could use slightly more weight heft to it but it's still well-balanced. I'm very happy with it.

Description of Shun Classic 7-Inch Santoku Hollow Ground

Rated the best Santoku by the Wall Street Journal, this knife utilizes ultra-hard VG-10 stainless steel clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side. That's a total 33-layers producing an unequivocally sharp blade bearing the beautiful striations unique to Damascus-style construction. The sleek handle features ebony-black Pakkawood construction and steel end caps for a comfortable grip and unrivaled control. Lifetime warranty.
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
