Shun DM0702 Review
A strong, resilient knife forged in Japan, the Shun 6 ½-inch classic santoku knife has a striking, aesthetically pleasing design. The D-shape handle fits comfortably in the hand, and its cutting power is amazing, too—able to slice through dense or squishy foods with equal ease. The indentations on the blade keep food from sticking to the knife and make for faster chopping. It’s as sturdy and well-balanced as a chefs knife, and very sharp. In fact, we had to be extra careful removing it from the plastic packaging for fear of slicing our hands. At $119.95, it’s an expensive kitchen tool, but it’s guaranteed to last for years.
