Buy this one first
By KRASSEL
I have begun replacing all the knives I have accumulated over the years, and after much research have decided that the Shun line will do me nicely. Like most folks I cannot buy a whole set all at once, nor do I think I need a whole set, so will be buying them one at a time. The Nakiri knife was my first purchase of the Shun line for several reason's. I first saw it being used on a popular food show and noticed it seemed to be the chef's favorite knife. He could be seen using it for almost every cutting task, slicing, dicing and even light chopping. I decided after some more research to put that knife to the test myself. This is a wonderful all round knife. It will do almost every task you use a knife for. Notice I said almost, there are some specialty tasks that it does not do well, such as boning and filet work. But when slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables it really shines. It is so sharp out of the box that it requires no effort to slice even the harder root veggies. I find the weight and shape of the knife to be very comfortable and the overall length seems perfect. The "D" handle took no time at all to adjust to and really helps to locate the knife in the hand. This is a great knife and will serve me for many years. Highly recommend.

By Zachary King
This is one of the greatest knives I have every used! I am a professional chef who uses a knife in a for a solid 3 hours every day and this is my knife of choice. This knife is far superior to anything I have used. From Montana knives to Wusthof and Sysco Black Diamond this particular Shun beats them all. If you are cutting vegetables in high volume or just for a dinner for two buy this knife. But only buy it if you are serious about owning one of the finest cutting implements on the market.The blades consists of multiple layers of steel for hardness, strength, durability and corrosion resistance. The blade is kept at a 16 degree angle compared to a Global's 26 degree blade angle. This means the knife is SERIOUSLY sharp! However it does not hold its edge as long as a knife with a greater blade angle. This means you MUST use a honing steel every so often. In the professional kitchen I use a steel every or every other day to maintain a razor sharp edge. In a home kitchen honing every week or two weeks should be sufficient. The Damascus finish is extremeley attractive and durable due to the high level of carbon in the steel. This also means it is prone to etching. If you are cutting something with high acid content such as lemons be sure to wipe the blade carefully after each use. Also, this knife is a Nikiri or a Japanese vegetable knife. It slices, dices, and minces very well! As far as versatility goes this knife is not high up on the list. If you are looking for the ultimate veggie knife however, look no further.By all means buy this knife! You will love it and use it more then any other. Just keep in mind the responsibilities that go with a knife of this caliber. Take care of this knife and it will last you a lifetime!

By Peter Venetoklis
The size and shape of this knife tend to limit its use to smaller chopping jobs, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have, at the very minimum, a good chef's knife, but it's a great addition to a knife set. The knife balances beautifully, the asymmetric handle is an asset, and its sharpness embarrasses German knives.
