Shun VB0723 Sora Chef's Knife, 6-Inch

Aunque no tiene el tamaño de un gyuto normal, Es muy cómodo y ligero en la mano, ideal para cortes Precisos

Este producto es de bastante buena calidad. Los japoneses saben hacer muy bien las cosas y se nota la maestría que tienen en hacer productos de corte. El metal es de primera calidad, además de su manufactura. El mango podría estar mejor hecho, con un material de mejor calidad ya que se siente demasiado plástico al tacto. Estoy bastante satisfecho con su desempeño y además se ve muy bonito. Yo lo compré para cortar frutas para mis cócteles pero perfectamente puede funcionar como cuchillo de chef en una cocina.

Got the 6" Sora I make most of my food at home and have worked in a restaurant kitchen briefly so I know what a difference a good, sharp knife can make. Finally bit the bullet and got a "real" knife, knowing they're around $100. I was concerned about the plastic handle at first, but apparently a lot of the higher end knives have synthetic handles because they're more antimicrobial (and there for sanitary) and generally easier to care for. I noticed after I got this I could have gotten the Kanso utility for about $10 with a wood handle, so consider that. Obviously it sucks that some people have had the tip break off their knife, but part of that is because the blade of this knife is made out of very hard steel- hard steel makes for a great cutting edge but is less flexible and more brittle. The non-cutting edge is wrapped in a softer steel, which is cheaper and softer, but more durable. Glass is a very "hard" material which is why it's so sharp but so brittle. I keep getting watermelons and it's so easy to just cut the entire rind of, cuts through brussels sprouts like nothing too. I'm not really sure how Shun's "free sharpening" policy works, but if that's a thing I can do this might be my brand- I've heard shun mentioned a few times but when I was doing research Babbish (aka Andrew Rea) suggested it for an affordable entry level knife, so I was sold. I have small hands and I'm working in a small space, so the 6" one is plenty big enough for me.

No es lo que mostraron en la imagen, me llegó La versión mango de polímero, pero al final está bien porque no me preocupa cuidar la madera de la empuñadura, en cuanto al filo es bueno un 9.3 de 10 lo recomiendo

It took a while to get comfortable with this knife. Its very light and felt delicate, and its not really an all purpose knife. But for slicing, not chopping, its fantastic. I love using it and, along with a global chefs knife, Ive pretty much stopped using my German knives. I've read some complaints about the handle and yes, its plastic. But it has good grip, comfort, and its not slippery. I use a global specific sharpener to keep it in shape, and it works well. It does need more regular sharpening than a German knife, but it cuts are more refined. For me, an excellent knife.
