My top knife December 30, 2005

My Henckels Chef's Knife is so well used that the markings are almost gone. It feels like an extension of my hand. My favorite -- until a year ago when I first picked up the Shun santoku.
I still love my Henckels and use it for tough jobs but for everything else, the Shun is more versatile. Deadly sharp out of the box and has easily maintained the edge (I use steel with each use and a Chef's Choice sharpener when needed), it handles perfectly. Perfect balance, easy to control, it can handle precise trims of small work, slice a delicate tomato with the ease of a breath, or draw through big meat.
I've recommended this knife many times and everyone loves it. It's my most-used knife -- the one I pick up the instant I walk into the kitchen.

I own this knife and two from other Japanese manufacturers...they can NOT be topped in steel, edge and comfort of grip. This is the sharpest blade (out of the box) that I have ever used. I've been a chef for 23 years now and I have always used German and French blades ( and I still love 'em!) but I bought one of these on a whim and I doubt that I will EVER put it down again...(as a matter of fact I bought the paring knife and the chef's knife the day after this one arrived).
This is also one of the most beautiful blades (damascus steel!!!) that I've ever seen and the ergonomic grip is shaped to the palm (although from the picture you can't see that). The blade is a bit wider and more curved than a EurAsian knockoff copy, just as it should be.
The blade is thin...anorexic thin...and not for touching bones...use a heavy Euro blade for that or you will regret it.We be handin' out 5+mojo*z for this beauty 'cause we know what we're talkin' 'bout!!!
