Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Steel Angled 6-Inch Utility Knife
Customer Review: Good knife but upkeep is too much for me
Summary: 3 Stars
This knife is beautiful and very sharp. However, after two months of use, it seems to be getting dull already compared to when it first arrived. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with it, but I do clean it and dry it by hand after every use. I have never let food dry on the knife, or placed it in the dish washer. I always clean it with a small amount of dish detergent and a Mr. Clean eraser (melamine sponge) along the blade sides. I'm very puzzled as to why such a nice knife would dull so fast as even really inexpensive knives do not seem to dull so noticeably after a few months of use. The dulling is most noticeable when cutting tomatoes as their skins can be difficult for dull knives to pierce cleanly.
My only other thought is that my cutting board may not be suitable for the knife. If my standard polypropylene cutting board isn't good enough for the knife, using Shun knives probably involves too much upkeep/maintenance effort for me. Although the knives are beautiful and sharp, they're just too delicate for this average everyday cook.
