Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
Customer Review: Mistake the price is TOO LOW
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought one for me a week ago and another this morning for my brother. Among the best of the best in short knives made of VG-10 steel. Those layers do make the blade slide through material a little better too.
At $40 this is about the same price at German paring knives. VG-10 is better steel, perhaps the best available for kitchen and pocket knives today. Put VG-10 in Google and search for tests of its properties. Do not think it will take a sharper edge (?), it will hold it longer with care.
The handle is also nice with an triangle/ellipse kind of shape. Less likely to rotate in your hand when cutting through apples and other tougher materials. Wusthoff makes a $20 sharpener I also recommend. Wüsthof 2-Stage Knife Sharpener : reference my recommendation there.
All the Shun knives, have six, are superior IF you take care of them properly. Keep them sharp and never bump them against anything but what you cutting. Hand wash, hand dry, and keep in cutting block. If you are not inclined to serious care buy something cheaper. Not for children unless taught proper use and respect.
There are knives with better handles like Shun Ken Onion but all the Shun knives are top quality VG-10 steel. Just find the sizes and shapes that you like. Short paring, medium (7-8") general purpose, and bread knife covers 95% of usage for me.
Description of Shun Classic 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife
The razor sharp edge of our Shun Classic Vegetable Paring Knife slices its way through almost everything. Featuring the same VG-10, a hardened Japanese steel of all our Shun Classics, this knife has superior strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance-all characteristics you've come to expect from Shun. And as with our Classic Series, the blades are ground to a 16 degree angle, making them the sharpest out of the box. With our Pakkawood hande, there is a natural guide for finger placement for an easy and secure grip. There may not be a more well-thought out knife line on the market today!Paring Knives
