Shun Nagare 8" Chef's Knife

Surprisingly comfortable

I purchased this knife on sale (at a significant discount) so I could check out the performance of the Shun dual core construction. I'll admit that I wasn't really in love with the looks of the knife, but once I had it in hand what a joy it is to use! Beefy enough for big jobs, but balanced for small prep tasks too. In a pinch grip the bolster and handle provide a secure and comfortable combination that keeps me reaching for this knife over others far more than I ever expected. The dual core blade has remained sharp, requiring only an occasional pass on the steel. Recommend!

Great knife all around. Looks great, feels great, cuts great.

It's beautiful and mine!

The feel of this knife is top notch and very sharp out of the box. I have a collection of over 50 Japanese kitchen knives and this series is one of my favorites..........it's differently the most comfortable!
