Kai Shun 15cm Utility Knife DM-0701

Best utility knife I've ever used. Razor sharp so care needed.

Amazingly sharp knife, I mean really sharp. Beautiful to look at, nice to hold. Used more for delicate foods. The edge has a slight tendency to flake (chip) if you get too aggressive when sharpening. Don’t use anything more course than a 2000 wet stone.

An excellent product. Only issue is that I'd have preferred a slightly shorter model as it is a little unwieldy.

Very sharp, very light. My wife prefers this brand to the Tojiro Senkou knives I have as they are nowhere near as heavy and have a smaller handle that she finds easier to manage.

Very good and extremely sharp

Great stuff, my most used kitchen utensil.

Fantastic knife and great service

Bought as a gift and the recipient said it was excellent

très belle lame, conforme aux prétentions de la marque, seul bémol le manche un peu fin et court pour les grosses mains de bourrin comme les miennes!

Don't waste your money on cheap knives. This one is fantastic and will work much better than all those cheap ones that you would have to replace very often. This will probably last for years and is a great product. It cuts through really tough things like pineapples, rather like a knife through butter. Would definitely recommend this item.

Holds the edge for a long time. Gave it as a gift to a friend who was very happy with the knife's craftsmanship.

Look, if you’re serious about cooking, like I am, then like my pappy said, you need the right tools for the job. I mean, what’s a doctor without a speculum? Or a roofer without a pick up truck? Or a government employee without an intelligence problem? You need the best stuff you can get ITK – in the kitchen. Keep up with me here. First of all, you’ll need a really good molecular slicing utility. You non-geeks might refer to this as a knife. I prefer the Shun line of professional knives because of how they look and feel. I mean, how cool is it to have a sexy Japanese knife? It comes super sharp, so be careful with it. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. You’ll need to sharpen these once in a while, but they’ll last forever. I have had my set since 2011, and they're still sharp and wonderful. There's something about how Shun engineering manages to balance these knives - it's like they become part of you. They are so comfortable to use, and when maintained properly, it takes very little effort to cut vegetables and meats. I'm now expanding my set of Shuns for a new cooking show. Try one - you too will be impressed.

Très bon couteau. Un rasoir. Un étui pour la lame, même en platique dur aurait été apprécié.
