 Nice Knife December 4, 2008
Rob Edwards (Oklahoma)
This is a nice knife. I purchased it for one reason only... The Shun Kershaw name. The price of this knife is fantastic and is less than half the cost of the Shun items so I was hoping to get some of the Shun quality in this knife. Overall it is nice, heavy steel, the grips are a poly compound not wood. If you expect Shun quality you will not be happy but for an everyday knife, it is worth a try.
 Good mid-range Japanese-style knife August 6, 2008

I'd say this knife met my expectations, although contrary to the other reviews I read, I didn't find this knife substantially sharper than any other mid-priced knife I've purchased. I bought this as a sample to determine the differences between the Japanese style and German style knives to see which I preferred; the differences are about what one would expect: this knife cuts more at a diagonal due to the single-sided cutting edge, which must be compensated for. Still, it's a fine carving knife.
Pros:
Looks very nice, even compared to more expensive knives
Cuts as well as Henckels' International series, once the diagonal is adjusted for
Cons:
Matte blade surface is an interesting appearance, but makes it somewhat harder to clean
Handle is rather lightweight for a knife of this length
For an introductory Japanese knife, this one is decent, especially considering its low price when compared to the mid-grade German knives.

This knife is good, but not great. It's got a nice handle and is very sharp, but it's a bit long for my taste. It seems oddly balanced due to the entire 9" blade. Perhaps a more adept chef would feel comfortable, but for me I think it's a bit awkward.

I knew it wasn't top of the line when I bought it, but it seems to work as intended. Having fun w/ this product. It cuts more than just fish very thin... It's a nice compliment to my kitchen tools.
Sharp... very sharp. February 13, 2008

A REALLY sharp knife for the price! It handles very well while cutting, and doesn't do anything unexpected, like many cheap knives. As far as overall construction, it seems adequate. The overall blade thickness is a little lacking, making it a bit on the flexy side, but if you're using it for sashimi ie: not cutting hard, solid things, it does fine.
It definitely isn't a Fujiwara or Tsuneo Yoshida (google them), but it is a great value for the price. You can beat on it and not feel guilty, which is a comforting feeling.
If you're just getting into sushi-making, it's a great intro knife. Get one.
