And my Other Christmas Gift is Sharp!
#6
[quote mrbigstuff]Bah. Just use one of these and stop pretending you're a TV chef....

but, hey, if I had the cash to drop, I might buy one.
Heh. That's like the Wusthoff chef's knife that I have...

I did try our the Wusthoff Santoku, and it has a bad angle at the bolster that pinched against my middle finger. I was pretty amazed that it felt so crappy, because it's not like the chef's knife does that. It fits fine like a traditional design should.

As for cost, if the Shun lasts for 30 years like the Wusthoff, it will be a small investment.

We got the Wusthoff as a wedding gift. I would have never thought that a knife would be such a cool gift. I'd never had a real quality tool like that before. I was blown away by how much of a difference it made. Since then, we gave chef knives as wedding gifts probably 3 or 4 times...

When I picked up the Ken Onion Shun, I was sold on it. These are a radical design made with the idea of fitting the hand when it is properly place on the knife. It feels awesome. I really can't wait to use it.
