The christmas gift i received from my sister was a very nice chef’s knife. I’ve been quietly looking for a while but hadn’t really decided what to get. I had gravitated toward the Wusthof or Henckels and had never heard of the knife my sister got for me but it was recommended to her by the chef at the school she works at ( a high school with a chef? ).
The knife is a Kershaw Shun 8″ Chef’s knife and its uber sharp. i gotta say slicing, chopping and stuff is lot easier with a crazy sharp knife. All this time i’ve been working with inferior equipment.
The Hon sent me a link to a friend of his who also has the Shun. The great part was learning that Alton Brown is also a fan of the Shun knives!

We were given a Global knife as a wedding present, and I gotta say, it has become my go-to blade of choice for virtually all kitchen chores. In fact, I have been known to wait patiently until my darling bride finishes with it (also her favorite knife) rather than simply choose another option from a rather well appointed knife block. But I just watched the Alton Brown infomercial, and I think I’ll have to explore the Shuns now.

We love Cutco around here! I’ve never tried Shun knives though. Alton Brown rawks.
