Hi everyone, One of the new brands we're carrying as we open our Main St. store are Shun knives from Japan. Shun was not on the radar when we had our previous stores and I've been interested in checking them out. Our Shun rep was kind enough to give us a Classic 8" Chef's knife and I brought it home to the Corrado Test Kitchen! Used it for the first time tonight and was duly impressed. They are light for a bolstered knife and have great balance. The slightly odd triangular round handle fits really well in my hand and was very comfortable. And, it was sharp as hell!Shun knives take 32 layers of steel that has been pounded down to 3/1000th of an inch thick and wrap it around a core of VG-10 high carbon stainless. This makes a knife that is very strong yet light. I'm telling you, this is a nice knife. Come in and check them out. The Classic 8" Chef's sells for $139.95...
