Shun Premier 6" Gokujo Boning Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Boning & Fillet Knife, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle, Meat & Fish Tool for Professional and Home Chefs

Man, this knife somethin’ vicious, yo. Ain’t no five-dollar bamma neither — this that real steel. I threw it up on a magnet joint, whole kitchen poppin’ now. Cut sharp, look sharp. Straight murder game on the food, feel me?

La calidad es increíble

OMG This knife is a thing of beauty. I'm almost afraid of using it and marring it. Got to keep my wife away from it. I have several Shun Classic and Hiro knives in my collection which we use on a daily basis and have for years. I touch up all my blades monthly with a superfine DMT hone, so they are always super sharp. My wife is always cursing at me for getting these knives because she nicks herself all the time with the heel of the blade. I keep showing her how to properly hold these knives, but she still seems to get nicked. It has actually become humorous. She also occasionally gets the blades nicked up..ARGH! from chopping with them instead slicing with them. I have just gotten used to it; not worth getting upset. Now that I have gotten that out of that out of my system, this knife is a marvel of craftsmanship. I have wanted a highly curved blade for some time. I'll probably will use it mostly for trimming fat caps. But occasionally I get fresh fish so this will be a godsend for filleting. The blade appears to be slightly thinner than my other knives, but definitely not flexible, but this is a boning knife not a fillet knife, so I'm good with that. I also like that this has an ambidextrous handle. Did I say this knife is BEAUTIFUL!

Bought this one night after a particularly great day at work and after a 3rd glass of wine... gift to self. It's a gorgeous knife, and well-made. (Well, it IS a Shun, after all!) Great addition to my pantheon of beautiful knives! (If they'd let me, I might take it into the OR and take out an appendix with it! LOL!)

Just added this to my Shun collection after starting purchasing large cuts of pork and beef. My first use of the knife was a huge success. I am brand new to butchering large cuts of meat and I knew I loved my other Shun Premier knifes. The price and finding this in stock slowed down my purchase but so glad I got one.Upon slicing the 22lb shoulder to something more manageable I simply used the weight/gravity of the meat itself applied to the knife to slice. I never understood exactly what "cut like butter" was after all my $40 knife sets all failed me. This knife did exactly that. Look forward to passing this set to my daughter some day. This and the ultimate utility knife are my favorite knifes in this set because of the beauty and raver sharp! Thank you Shun!

extremely sharp, well balanced and looks amazing! I was looking for a knife to trim and cut raw meat without hacking away at the meat. After researching many knives, I choice this one because it is thin, multiple layers of folded steel for strength and the low angle edge.I know it is a Boning/Fillet knife but this is a hands on test on fruits and vegetables.Tomato, rest the blade on top and pull back and the shear weight of the knife will cut through without resistance!Carrot, can cut so thin the slices are transparent!Bell pepper, scary fast, like a hot knife in butter!Raw chicken, (trimming excess fat off) Simply amazing, this is why I bought this knife!! It cuts through meat and fat so easy, it's scary! Do not be careless and cut your fingers! Kiss them goodbye!Raw beef, again like a hot knife through butter!Just use the curve of the blade do the work, flex your wrist and don't cut yourself!One of the sharpest blades I have ever used and own! Just buy it! Treat yourself now!!

I do a lot of spearfishing in Florida and some fish have touch skin, i.e. spade fish. I needed something to help filet them as it was so much work, and dangerous with ordinary knives even after sharpening them. First time I used this knife I was sold. It was worth every penny. Not to mention the company will sharpen it for life...free(except shipping). I plan on buying a block and building up a Shen collection of knives.

beautiful knife, needs care to maintain edge though and avoid hard bone animals
