ShunPremier 6" Gokujo Boning Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Boning & Fillet Knife, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle, Meat & Fish Tool for Professional and Home Chefs

extremely sharp, well balanced and looks amazing! I was looking for a knife to trim and cut raw meat without hacking away at the meat. After researching many knives, I choice this one because it is thin, multiple layers of folded steel for strength and the low angle edge.I know it is a Boning/Fillet knife but this is a hands on test on fruits and vegetables.Tomato, rest the blade on top and pull back and the shear weight of the knife will cut through without resistance!Carrot, can cut so thin the slices are transparent!Bell pepper, scary fast, like a hot knife in butter!Raw chicken, (trimming excess fat off) Simply amazing, this is why I bought this knife!! It cuts through meat and fat so easy, it's scary! Do not be careless and cut your fingers! Kiss them goodbye!Raw beef, again like a hot knife through butter!Just use the curve of the blade do the work, flex your wrist and don't cut yourself!One of the sharpest blades I have ever used and own! Just buy it! Treat yourself now!!

Just added this to my Shun collection after starting purchasing large cuts of pork and beef. My first use of the knife was a huge success. I am brand new to butchering large cuts of meat and I knew I loved my other Shun Premier knifes. The price and finding this in stock slowed down my purchase but so glad I got one.Upon slicing the 22lb shoulder to something more manageable I simply used the weight/gravity of the meat itself applied to the knife to slice. I never understood exactly what "cut like butter" was after all my $40 knife sets all failed me. This knife did exactly that. Look forward to passing this set to my daughter some day. This and the ultimate utility knife are my favorite knifes in this set because of the beauty and raver sharp! Thank you Shun!

Blade is sharp. Handle is comfortable to use. Boning a porterhouse for serving has never been better using this blade. Works beautifully on lamb fat cap, silver skin removal. Excellent craftsmanship and quality, worth the investment. It will last a lifetime provided not left sitting in water.

We have a large collection of Shun knives, however, did not have a boning knife. We went with the premier on this but most of our others are classic. This knife really works great, is beautiful to look at and this company is great to deal with! Thank you! My hubby says it reminds him of a pirate knife 😊

This is a fantastic knife. Not gonna lie, I cringed at the idea of spending this much on a knife. Most of my knives are $12 IKEA knives, which aren't bad. I have a few other higher end knives too, so I know the difference. I do a lot of meat cutting, I buy my beef in whole cows and have them rough cut at the butcher. So I needed a knife that could trim, cut and slice and this is it. It finely trims just the right amount of fat of a brisket, cuts around a bone on a big roast, or slices you're finished steak off like a champ. Money well spent.Highly recommend if you want a serious knife. Be careful washing it though...don't find out the hard way how sharp it is! lol

Deboned and pork shoulder with ease.Review updated after a year of use. This has become one of my absolute go-to knives. It works well in 'cutability' of course but the agility achieved with this knife makes it exemplary. Watermelon is great as it scribes so well. Meat is obviously a wonder to carve with this. The length ensures I reach what I need to and the tip is honed for the hard to reach. My Chef knife often gets left behind for this blade. Highly recommend this knife for its feel, sharpness, contour, balance, and performance.

Bought this one night after a particularly great day at work and after a 3rd glass of wine... gift to self. It's a gorgeous knife, and well-made. (Well, it IS a Shun, after all!) Great addition to my pantheon of beautiful knives! (If they'd let me, I might take it into the OR and take out an appendix with it! LOL!)

La calidad es increíble
