A good size to start with and versatile (I can fillet small to pretty large fish) wicked sharp and the stainless stays shiney. Taking a bit to get the technique right

Amazing knife, incredibly sharp out the box, beautiful design, definitely buying more knives of different types, can't think of a better life long kitchen knife brand.

Buying as a gift for a fellow chef friend, I bought the Shun paring knife as I know their knives to be consistently ergonomically and functionally exceptional. I held it briefly to feel the marvellously balanced and weighted blade and also to admire the beauty of the damascus steel. I'll certaintly continue to buy Shun knives for myself and highly recommend them to others in the future.

I love this purchase. This is my second Kai Shun knife. Makes food preparation really enjoyable.

Brilliant knife perfect size

Beautiful knife, was a present, will buy one for myself I think

Very nice to use

Had looked at and admired these knives for a long time. Finally decided a gift to my self was in order.
No regrets. I love this knife. The look, the feel I the hand, the balance and the sharpness. An absolute delight to use, and a surprise as well. I thought my old k ife was decent, and sharp, but, we'll, not so much it now seems. Will keeping it for the nasty jobs like breaking squash open, but basically it is now unemployed.

Have used the stone to bring all my older knives back to a good keen edge. Works well. The plastic holding frame doubles as a good base for when using the block, as well as for storing it afterwards. Very good tool.

Incredible quality

Amazing knives, beautifully crafted and honed to a super sharp edge. A pleasure to use.

Great birthday present very happy with purchase

Super good quality, I never knew how much I needed a quality grade knife till I purchased this
