Shun Classic Santoku Knife, 5-1/2-Inch

I am an avid home cook. Generally I cook for my wife and I, but there are plenty of times that I cook for larger groups of people when we have guests. I've had this knife for several months, and could not be more happy with it. The knife is incredibly sharp, well balanced and has an extremely comfortable handle. The Shun cuts effortlessly through everything, and is sharp enough to cut anything razor thin. It's also a very attractive looking piece, and my personal favorite among all my knives. At $80, it's really an excellent value.

I love cooking and am very passionate about my knives, so I knew I wanted to buy a Shun because of the rave reviews.

And it deserves those reviews, this knife is incredibly sharp, comfortable, and holds an edge better than my Wusthofs. But, despite these qualities, I am having troubles recommending this knife. My blade has small chips in the blade after only a month or two of light use. Now, I want to be clear, I do not abuse the knife it doesn't go near a dishwasher, I use a wood cutting block, and it sits in a maple block when I'm not using it.

So far the chips don't really change the knife's performance, I'm sure the chips will continue, and that's unacceptable for a knife of this cost.

I own many high end knifes including knifes from the wustof classic series but by far i think the shun has a much sharper edge and is a bit easier to handle due to the ergonomic grip. I plan on purchasing more shun knifes from now on.
