Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun DM0706L Classic Left-Handed 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife
Customer Review: Excellent Sharp Shun Balanced Left-Handed Chef Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife feels comfortable to use; it slices elegantly and smoothly through thick or thin meat and produce. I can slice very thin or thick even slices.
I have large hands and the handle fits perfect. This knife also looks great. I considered a MAC Chef Knife; but the Shun left-handed handle feels perfect. I think the handle is small enough for people with smaller hands too. I did also consider a high quality tier Wusthof or Henckel; but I did not like their handles or feel.
The Shun feels ideal in terms of weight and balance and all forms of cutting and slicing. I do having a paring knife; but it is not a Shun. I am considering getting a Shun Paring Knife as my Henckel (middle quality tier) is no where near as sharp and it's handle is a little short compared with the Shun. The blade and over all look of the Shun Classic Chef knife is beautiful. It is my favorite and best knife I have owned.
I use a bamboo cutting board with this knife. I rinse them off and wipe them dry after each use; both the Knife and cutting board. They are easy to wash and dry. The knife is a joy to use and makes food preparation fun. I keep my Shun Chef Knife in a wooden block. This knife is worth it's cost.
Description of Shun DM0706L Classic Left-Handed 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife
Shun DM0706L Classic Left-Handed Chef's Knife 8, Stainless SteelMade from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade.
The large 8-inch blade of this left-handed chef's knife makes it ideal for versatile slicing, chopping, dicing, and more. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife's handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, which provides extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. Hand washing the knife is recommended. The chef's knife measures approximately 13 by 2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
