Shun DM0743 Classic Gokujo Boning and Fillet, 6-Inch

I became a big fan of the asian knives, and have been slowly replacing my german knives with the Shun Classic line. This knife is a bit non-traditional when compared to your typical boning knives, but it's worked very well for me, both for actual bone removal and for trimming fat and silver skin from tenderloins, lamb racks and other choice cuts.

This thing is great for trimming meat. The curve in the blade helps each slice glide through the meat. I have trimmed and broken down several whole chickens with this and had no problem. Do not whack at bones with this like it was a cleaver, but the blade will not fall apart if it makes contact either, just be careful.

I received this knife as a wedding gift. I have several other Shun knives, and this one certainly lives up to all of my expectations. The build quality of the knife is excellent, and it looks great. All of my Shuns are very sharp, but this one feels sharper than the rest ever did. The blade glides through meat with little effort. While it may not be as versatile as a paring or chef's knife, for cutting meats (on or off the bone), it really shines.

Don't let them calling this a boning knife throw you off! It's one of the best, most versatile, go-to knives I have. Not only can you bone the most delicate of fish with ease but it's equally a joy for chopping onions, slicing tomato's paper thin and so on. I know, I know, it's not supposed to be used like that but once it's in your hand, you just find more and more uses for it outside its stated boning use. LOVE this knife and would never be without it. One thing to note, it's RAZOR sharp right out of the box...watch your fingers or learn to use a knife correctly! :)

I treat myself to a good knife when I can spare the money. This is my third Shun and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. I find myself reaching for it more and more often. As a tomato slicer it has no equal (at least in my kitchen) I used it to fillet a striped bass and was sad I only had the one fish to fillet. It is a pleasure to work with. By all means treat yourself to this fine piece of cutlery, you will not be disappointed. I should add it arrived scary sharp.
