Title: When you find the right knife, you know it.
Review: I took a chance in buying this knife, first, because of the expense, and second, the purchase was sight unseen (which I wouldn't recommend anyone doing at this price point). I'm happy and relieved it paid off! I've been having a lot of trouble finding a knife with a comfortable grip, and therefore having some trouble holding the knife properly and consistently for long periods of time. I settled last year for a Santoku from Henckels, which I still really like, but it just wasn't, you know, *it*. The first time I grasped the Shun out of the box, it just fit -- it was like it was made for my hand. It almost dares me to hold it incorrectly. I'm still adjusting to losing the smooth and easy food release of the Santoku blade, but, the trade-off in comfort is worth it. (Of course, now I'm eyeing the 7" Santoku from Shun....) Very happy with this purchase, and I'm looking forward to a long veggie prep, canning and soup season this year.
