Re: Please recommend a Shun knife for my sister
By a significant margin, my most-used knife is a Shun Ken Onion Chef's knife. I use the 10" model, which is a very big, heavy knife. (I'm compensating for so many things.)
The 8" version would be a nice compliment to a Santoku with a couple of cautions. It's fairly pricey, and it is heavy, and it may not be ideal if she has smaller hands. It will easily take a very fine edge and hold it. I absolutely love the way it fits my hand. I can hack a squash in half and peel an apple with equal ease.
