Brilliant VG-0165N (11/5/2009)
I've now been using this about 6 months and I think it is truly excellent. It is so thin you can use it to slice incredibly thinly - apples slice so thin you can see through them and there is no flavour left! The handle is typical Shun D style, you either love it or hate it - I like it. Strangely the VG10 seems to be difficult to clean of all smear marks. The fit and finish is excellent for any knife, definitely among the best. I've read a lot of criticism over Shun steel hardness, this chipped slightly when I first used it, but after sharpening it on a stone it has not chipped again and the edge has remained shaving sharp even though it gets used lots every day. Somehow it feels bigger in use than it's size would make you think, it works for precision cutting and will demolish a cabbage in seconds - I normally run out of things to cut long before I'm ready, it's the kind of knife that makes you cut everything in sight then you wonder how to use it all! It is truly head and shoulders above my other usuba and if I lost it I would have to buy it again! I can't praise it highly enough, so much so I wish someone would give a decent unbiased review of the Shun Pro Yanagiba.

this knife is amazing! the handle feels great. it's very sharp blade is easy to keep that way with the single bevel. paying a little more for the saya cover it is well worth it.
