I thought I would try this unique shaped knife based on the narrative description. Although it does perform, it is not the best knife I have in my knife block but does an adequate job.

I'm a huge shun fan and saw this knife at my local William Sonoma. Way fair had it for a better price, and their shipping was super quick. However, even though the knife is very nice, I find myself reaching for my chefs knife or standard utility knife instead, the shape does not lend itself to the type of knife work I normally do. Still, it is a shun.

The knife itself is great; the handle though is a bit too small, and I wish was of better quality.
