Title: It's not that sharp. Period
Review: I was smitten, and spent $200 bucks on this knife. I got it, and did the obligatory tomato slice. And... it didn't cut it. I had to saw like the dickens and ended up with some hideous slices. For comparison, I have an Oneida Performance santoku. It's seriously a $15 knife. I also have a Gatco carbide knife sharpener, which cost me $13 at Cabela's. With a few quick swipes across that sharpener, my Oneida cheapo blade is MUCH sharper than the factory edge on the Shun. Sure, the blade doesn't stay sharp as long, but it literally takes me 20 seconds (that's not an exaggeration) to sharpen it, and it performs much better than the price-inflated Shun.Stay away from this knife. It looks cool, but if you have ever used a truly sharp knife, you'll know instantly that this thing is an impostor. Needless to say, I'm taking mine back.
