The knife is beautiful. There are times when I am only preparing a meal for myself. I found that the 5. 5” blade works well for the smaller tasks associated with the preparation of an individual meal. I Avery happy with the purchase.
I prefer knives with shorter blades for most tasks. I use a Japanese petty knife for almost all tasks including those that would have most chefs reaching for an 8" or longer blade. I was excited to try this shorter santoku from Shun. The knife is beautiful, the blonde wood is a nice change from darker handled knifes, and the balance is just perfect. However, it arrived new EXTREMELY DULL. I have a few other Shun products and I'm just amazed that they would ship a knife that is this incredibly dull. I will remedy this, of course, but it just surprised me that it came out of the box 100% unusable. I couldn't even get through a cherry tomato; the knife just slid around on the tomato's skin.
