Title: Great knife - but only if price is no object
Product review: I agree with the previous reviewer: this is the sharpest, most well made Chinese chef's knife out there. However, I guarantee you won't find this knife in any authentic Chinese kitchen because this knife is just too expensive.If you want to get a good Chinese chef's knife, you should buy the high-carbon stainless Dexter-Russell cleaver (costs around $40). It is only slighly less sharp but the difference is not noticeable, especially if you are chopping rather than slicing.There is nothing wrong with the Shun knife; it's just way too overpriced. It's just a knife, and no mass-produced kitchen knife is worth $170, no matter how sharp it is.
