My new favorite knife!
By Lake Stevens Mama
This knife was a birthday gift from my husband who tends to buy things because they look "cool" and not necessarily because they are the best at what they do. Let's just say I opened this knife up and thought, "HOLY COW, Now that's a knife!"Here are my observations after several months of use:The substantial blade is razor sharp-and has stayed that way. It slices through tomatoes and london broil like a hot blade through butter-no "sawing" motion required. I typically have a knife for each job around the kitchen, but this knife does the job of several, quite easily.I was initially surprised how well the handle fit in my hand. The handle has grooves where you fingers rest, and I thought that perhaps they would feel oddly placed, as my hands are quite small. This wasn't a problem... and the knife felt very natural.I did a little research, and read that the design of this handle is unique in that it places your hand in "the perfect position in relation to the blade for less effort and fatigue." Hmmm... I don't know if I have ever felt "fatigue" while using my other knives, but I do see now how I was never holding the handle properly,forcing the knife with pressure to cut, chop and slice. Knife-science...who knew?!?!I find that my other knives are getting little use in my kitchen. I reach for this knife again and again.I'm hinting to my husband that another knife in this line would make a great Christmas gift.

Overall sharp blade, good heft and right size. If you take care of this knife it will last a lifetime.Handle: I have small hands and honestly some knifes have such a long handle it feels a bit awkward. When I used this knife, I felt like Goldilocks, it was the right size. The handle has these grooves which helps with placement of your fingers, allowing you to cut with minimal effort. I was able to cut thin slices of salami without thought and no sawing motion. With my other chef's knife, I always had to concentrate on the right placement as it did not feel natural. No such worries with this one.Blade: Aesthetic wise, I love the design- looks like it could have come right out of my Fable game. The blade is very sharp and it cut through the Thanksgiving ham as if it was butter with minimal sawing motion.Weight: There is a good weight to the knife, heavy enough to be substantial but not so heavy that it is burdensome.The knife is expensive but worth it because it is a great staple knife that will work for the majority of your needs in the kitchen.

By S. Epps
I admit that I have a bit of a steel fetish which is limited by financial restraints. That being said, I took a chance and treated myself to the Shun Kaji Fusion. The shipping was quick and tonight I had an opportunity to use the knife to cut potatoes for home made french fries. I have used Wustoff knives for many years in the kitchen and have been satisfied. This however was a completely new cutting sensation. Very minimal pressure was required to glide through the russet potatoes and the pieces did not stick at all. I have larger hands (6'8") and the knife fit very well, my wife (5'2") tried the Shun and she was amazed at how balanced it was, which speaks to the manufacturing of the implement. Expensive...yes, but fit, form and finish are immaculate. If you want to cut a tree...a can and then have to slice a tomato perhaps not. If you want a knife that will be a cherished, beyond surgically sharp and designed to last generations, look no further.
