Shun MH0705 Review by Leonard Chang
very very happy with bread knife. have used it on various breads and it came up terrific. the one i bought from you is my second purchase which i gave to a dear friend. the first one i bought was from a shop which was of course much more costly. i have since bought another shun knife (chef). have not used it as yet. will buy another (chinese chopper) soon as a present for another friend. i have become a big fan of shun.
Shun MH0705 Review by Michael Chapman (LOS ANGELES, CA, US)
As for most casual cooks, I take pleasure in preparing food for a few friends. So I usually have a few glasses of scotch when I cook, no big deal. So to prevent any accidents, its important for a knife to have excellent balance and feel, and not be too sharp. I'm not a circus performer or a knife juggler, so I don't have the kind of dexterity needed to handle an extremely sharp knife after I've had a few.
Of the five times I have used this knife, I cut myself four of those times. If I shell out the money for a supposedly high-quality knife, I expect it to be effective, but forgiving.
Another gripe of mine is that I have found the knife to be completely ineffective for certain uses, such as cleaning and skinning wild game. Again, if I'm going to pay premium prices, I expect the product to be versatile.
Shun MH0705 Review by R. C. Babcock
After using the Shun to cut some very crusty artisanal breads, I'd have to say it's the best bread knife I've used. The scalloped-style serrations have plenty of bite for batard and peasant boules but cut cleanly and with minimal crumbs; this pattern, also used by MAC, seems to damage the food much less than typical jagged serrations.
The balance and feel is very good. The only downside is the steel handle. It fits and feels good in the hand but lacks the "warmth" of the Pakkawood handles of the Classic and Elite series. It might also get slick & hard to grip when wet. This isn't really a flaw- I knew it was stainless when I ordered it. All in all it's a minor quibble with an otherwise fantastic knife. I haven't had it long enough to comment about edge retention but my experience with the other half dozen Shuns and the other VG-10 knives I own (Hattori, Kanetsune, etc) I expect the edge to last for quite awhile.
The only way it could really be improved for the price would be if it were a tad longer. 9" is really fine for most stuff but I could see how it could be a tiny bit short for really large loaves of specialty breads.
Highly recommended.
