Shun Premier 6.5-inch Serrated Utility Knife; Get the Perfect Slice with Serrated Front and Back Blade Edge and Fine Middle Edge; Hand-Sharpened Blade; Walnut PakkaWood Handle; Handcrafted in Japan

Excelente faca em todos os sentidos.

Bought this to add to my collection of Shun Premier knives. Classy look and feel, very sharp, a bit on the lightweight side, but well-balanced and easy on the hands. Got it on sale so it was a good value for the money. No issues with rust with these high-quality knives.

Beautiful and sharp. Very very sharp! The Shun knives are very light with a well shaped handle, much nicer than our Global knives which have been in constant use in our house for 10 years. Be very careful with these as they will cut you very deeply if you don't pay attention, although the cut will be neat and heal quickly if you treat it properly! Don't let this put you off though, knives are meant to be sharp and a sharp blade is less likely to bind or slip when you're cutting.

Must admit I wanted to add the 6.5 inch straight edge model add to my collection, but they seemed in short supply and where running $70 more than the serrated edge version. Originally I kind of settled for the serrated edge, but now I am glad I did. Its an unusual design, the top and bottom portions of the knife are serrated, but the bulk in the middle being a straight edge. The serrated edge is great for cutting tomatoes, bread rolls and even tough skinned fruit like pineapple. The middle portion goes through meats and cheeses like it was born for the task. Like all Shun knives fit and finish are outstanding. Its has quickly become my go to knife.

Decided to treat myself to some "good knives" and talked to some chef friends. Oh, I am beyond happy with this utility knife purchase 5 months ago! I use it for just about anything. I also bought the Shun TDM0723 Premier Chef's Knife, 6-Inch & Kai Diamond and Ceramic Retractable Knife Sharpener (Bundle), and love that one too. Still, this utility knife with it's "sharp/serrated" cutting edges are so useful for what I do in the kitchen. I use this on veggies of all kinds, some meats, to cut sandwiches, ets. If you can afford one knife, get this one to start. And to protect its sharpness, only use a acacia or other wood cutting board (not plastic). And please, everytime I use these knives I remind myself "respect the knife"! These are super sharp! I admit that I've gotten "close" and thinned out my left index finger's nail! It's still as sharp as the day I bought it 5 months ago and I love to cook a lot. Forget about the ceramic knives; junk compared to this high quality beauty. Been down that road, never to return!
