Shun DM0710 Classic 6-Inch Boning Knife

I've got a couple Shun knives....they all have a great feel and balance. I used it this morning to cut some chicken breasts for dinner - of course, it was like a butter knife through soft butter with this knife. Super-duper sharp (be careful!). Highly recommend all of their chef's knives.

This is an excellent boning knife added to my shun set, Excellent steel, excellent Quality can't say enough good things about it, I own 9 more,

This is my 4th or 5th Shun. Like all the others it is well balanced, sharp (of course), has a good sized handle for holding and maneuvering. Curvature and stiffness of the blade is excellent for boning jobs. Like all the other Shun knives it's a beauty.

This is an excellent good quality and very sharp knife. So far, it has performed every job I have used it on. My only concern is the blades flexability. Other boning knives I have used had blades a little more flexible than this one. However, I still recommend it.

Great.

Shun, makes great knives. Yes very expensive too. I recently bought the DM0710 from another vendor ..... for less than what Amazon charges. Just imagine the finest Samurai swords, then you'd catch my drift.Nevertheless, this Damascus Japanese knife is super sharp.Being a careful cook, I accidently poked myself with its tip.......my bad.My point? This knife is so incredibly sharp, be very careful.I should have known better.Yes, I don't limit brands. I have a few Henckels, Wusthof, Sabatier, Dexter Asian vegetable slicers. Nothing beats the Shun. My kitchen knife collection consists of maybe 10 different blades.If I had the money, I'd purchase their Classic 10" Chefs knife #DM0707L, left handed knife for a mere pittance $195 dollars. LOLI've read the Shun Damascus edge is prone to chipping. IMO, must be ham handed individuals who brutalize what ever style Shun knives. Regarding specific purpose is BONING, period.However, Shun guarantees their knives for life and will resharpen your, any model (pronounced "shoon"), once a year forever. Just save your receipts to verify.Yeah, do you see German mfrs offering same?????I don't think so.Just my opinion.Baruse

I believe if you're serious about cooking, you should own great cookware and excellent knives. I finally stepped up and got excellent knives. For those who haven't heard the hype, Shun is one of the most respected knife brands in the world.Great features of the entire line include these cool "D" shaped handles that fit your hand better. Each knife is made in a right- and left-handed version ([...] for lefties). The steel used for the blades is harder than what you would find in most other knives. The knives are EXTREMELY sharp.If you're building your set and want to take care of the must-haves first. Move this down on your priority list. Get the chef's, paring and bread knives first. With that said, there is a place for this knife in your kitchen. As with all of my other Shun knives, this one is extremely sharp and it's relatively light.This is an expensive, but lifetime investment. I encourage you to visit stores and feel the knives in your hand to make sure you are comfortable with them. For more info on Shun, check out Alton Brown's website. For ratings on various brands and types of knives, check out Cooks Illustrated's equipment ratings.This is my first and I'm sure last boning knife. As with all Shun's, it is extremely sharp -- a must for a good boning knife. I was surpised by the knife's weight. Although the blade is flexible, the knife feels heavy for it's size. This gives me (a true novice at deboning and filleting) more confidence.The famous D-shaped handle makes the knife easier to grip than other boning knives, but it can slip when greasy.

I bought this knife along with their carving knife for my wife as a Christmas gift. They were a huge hit at first although she was a little nervous because they were so sharp. The problem is that it showed pitting in less than 1 month. My wife thought it was because she had let it lay on the counter without drying it. Then the carving knife ended up doing the same thing and it was always hand washed and dried instantly. We came to the conclusion that it must be the knives themselves. Otherwise, these are a great product.
