Shun SG0403 Elite 6-1/2-Inch Santoku

<h2>Product Description</h2>


 

        Review
 
  Almost unheard of a decade ago, the Asian-style santoku is now one of the most popular knives in American kitchens. Similar to a Western chef's knife, the santoku rocks, chops, minces, and slices vegetables, fish, and meat. This 6-1/2-inch santoku is a member of Shun's fabulous Elite collection. The knife features a sleek black PakkaWood handle, made of a hardwood-resin fusion, which showcases an inlaid traditional Japanese emblem and fine rings of copper and brass near the bolster. A distinctive flourish, called a "hamon," along the edge of the blade recalls the samurai swords once made in Seki City, Japan, where Shun Elites are handcrafted. Any chef would feel honored to receive this exceptional, gift-boxed knife. <p> Shun Elite knives stand out for their incredible sharpness, sharper even than Shun Classics, thanks to the newest powdered steel alloy known as SG-2. The process used to make SG-2 results in a fine-grained, very dense blend of ingredients that creates a smooth-as-silk knife edge. Shun edges are formed to an unusually keen 16 degree angle, which is one reason they're so prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun Elite knives should be washed and dried--carefully--by hand, and stored when possible in a wooden block to protect the blade. --Ann Bieri

This is the sharpest knife i have ever seen. cuts like magic. i have the Shun Elite Ken Onion 8-Inch Chefs Knife also, and these two are my favorite all time knives. i have been using santoku knives for 25 years, and this one is by far, the best. Beautiful knives, a pleasure to use, 21st century powdered technology. i also have two other shuns that just aren't as good, because the sg-2 makes all the difference. Get this santoku if you can. highest recommendation for shun Elite and Fusion lines which are the only shuns that are sg-2.
