Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun DM0726 Shun Angled 6-Inch Utility Knife
Customer Review: The `angle' is a real step forward in knife design!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Many things that we take for granted are simply not the right way to do things. When hypodermic needles first came out, advertisements bragged how they were carefully ground to be `absolutely flat!' Ouch, it hurts even thinking about that. But someone did and today these needles are highly angled so they go in with less pain. Obviously the right thing to do in hindsight.
Until this little idea, kitchen knifes were straight. This knife features a ten-degree angle that keeps your hand clear of the cutting board and makes the knife easier to use. Once you get one of these in your hands you will wonder why no one did it before. It is easier to cut food with.
As for the knife itself, the cutting edge is made of VG-10 stainless steel with outer layers of protective stainless steel folded around it to give the patter of a Damascus blade. The result is a beautiful, incredibly sharp knife that holds its edge over a long period of usage.
This has become the most used knife in the kitchen. I use it to chop vegetables, slice hard cheeses, thinly cut limes and lemons. Unlike other, duller knife brands, this straightedge knife has no problem cutting bread or tomatoes. My block contains some of my old Chicago cutlery knifes together with Grand Prix knifes by Wustof, but none of these compare in sharpness or ease of use with Shun, especially with Alton's Angle.
