I have a few other good knives in the kitchen. However, when I want precision and guaranteed cutting to any thinness, I choose this knife. It's weird, but because of the price and the VERY sharp edge, I feel...different...in my food preparation when I use the knife. I think, "Whoa, you lucky onion!" I'm not kidding (weird, I know). But it's so precise; I know that whatever I set out to do to my vegetables, etc., it WILL be done the way I want, and with ease. It's like doing surgery or using Photoshop and zooming way in to do professional, detailed work.
I have a dry rag nearby and I just quickly rise and wipe (since they don't recommend you put it in a dishwasher).
The 7" is great for me since I already have a heavy, 8" chef knife, a santoku, etc.
And the FIRST thing that I noticed upon picking it up was the LIGHT weight of it. Other people say the say thing. I don't miss the typical, heavy weight of most knives (that I do have). It's like a scalpel...and the sharpness, I guess, takes the place of the need for the heaviness of many other knives.
I do love it. Buy it. And it's very pretty, too (the wavy pattern of the metal as well as the wooden handle).
This knife is fantastic. Not much to say other than it is incredibly sharp and it looks great too. Definitely recommend this knife.

Recently purchased this knife at a local store while it was on sale and I LOVE it so far. I wasn't even planing on buying a new chefs knife but I was easily talked into it because of its beauty and affordable price. I am a wok chef and I have always loved anything Oriental, and this knife is just gorgeous! Very sharp and it makes my prep work a lot easier. After purchasing, I found out one of my coworkers has this same knife and he's been using it for 10 years! His is only slightly faded and it's still very sharp, minus a chip from him abusing it. He said he had a full set of Shuns that he keeps at home and he would recommend the brand to any chef. I plan on buying more from this brand in the future. I would recommend to any working chef or home cook who doesn't mind spending the money on superior quality knives.

I am a man of many knives, and this is the sharpest one I've ever owned. The blade is beautiful, extremely sharp and holds an edge very well. The handle is equally pleasing to look at and well suited to it's purpose.
Overall the knife is lightweight, well balanced and the blade shape is excellent for a number of cutting and chopping tasks. I have a block full of German knives and I go straight to this one when I need to cut anything, it's that good.
Do yourself a favor and buy one of these, you won't regret it.

I do a fair amount of cooking at home. I'm not ready for my own TV show, but I can get the job done. My Shun makes my life so much easier and I've never had a knife like this before. I recommend also getting a good honing steel to keep your edge at it's best.
