Shun DMS300 Classic 3-Piece Boxed Cutlery Set Review

Shun DMS300 Classic 3-Piece Boxed Cutlery Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The best knives I've ever owned, bar none. They come with a razor edge and are easy to re-hone with just a few strokes on the Kershaw-Shun steel (well worth purchasing to accompany this set). The damascus pattern and perfectly crafted profile slice through darn near anything (food-like anyway) with ease. I also got a 9" scalloped slicing knife and sharpening steel to round out the set. The weight and balance are perfect. They are designed for right-handed chefs with a d-shaped handle so if you are a leftie they may not be as comfortable or easy to use.

Product Description:
This high-utility, high-quality cutlery set comes gift boxed with an 8-inch chef's knife, 6-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. Made in Japan, the knives feature VG-10 high-carbon stainless-steel blades with 16 layers of stainless alloy for their Damascus clad appearance. A beautiful line of cutlery, this pattern features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without rusting problems. The blade profile of these knives reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut, as well as faster prep times. Stainless-steel end caps and traditional ergonomic offset bolsters add to their utility, and black laminated PakkaWood handles give the knives maximum user comfort. Handwashing provides best care and the set comes backed by a lifetime warranty.

Would I have purchased this if I didn't own other Shuns?No.Is it worth the additional investment?Yes.I've had three previous carving forks.The only one that has survived is my All-Clad.

You can really tell the difference in craftsmanship.This fork has a substantial weight.As with all Shun's, the design is simple, yet beautiful.It feels good in the hand.The handle does not have the famous D-shape.

Use this fork to make a beautiful impression.

Paula Deen Signature Chef Set Review

Paula Deen Signature Chef Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Unless you are going to go with Bob Kramer, a knife is pretty much a knife within a certain price range. These knives are attractive and sharp when you get them. It will take you a long time and several tools to get to the point of being able to feel the blade, though, given the packaging--takes that wimpy plastic clamshell packaging to a whole new level with the use of police-type tie-downs secured so tightly that no scissors fit under them (razor blade had no effect, hobby saw had no effect, finally used brute force and a very large screwdriver to snap them). Seems like a odd review for knives but by the time you get them open, you will already be pretty fed up with them. Do not give as gift to senior citizen unless you open them first.

Product Description:
"A good set of knives is just as important as quality cookware. Chefs go crazy over knives, and I can understand why - they become an extension of your hand in the kitchen. My new collection is razor-sharp to get the job done well and fast, and feel comfortable so you won't get fatigued. I love the storage block from acacia wood, an eco-friendly hardwood that has such a rich, warm grain. Best Dishes!" - Paula Deen

This is a awsome knife. Super sharp. Great weight and easy to use on Veggis, Seafood, Sushi, Beef etc. Cut Salami or Carrots paper thin. The slices will fall right of the side, no more sticking to the blade! Great for chopping as well. I have almost all the 4 Star Henckels and I love them all and this one stands out. I can highly recommend this great tool. The same Santoku knife also comes in 7 inch lenght (for only ten dollars more) in case you are interested.

For the price, these are fantastic knives. I've had no problems with them at all - and they're quite sharp. Best not to put in the dishwasher. They will rust if water stands on them, and the handles don't respond well to the dishwasher. The blades are thick and sturdy, unlike many steak knives in this price range. Treat them right and they will last! I'd buy them again.

I recently began working in a Sushi Bar, where I was required to invest in my own knives.I purchased this Bunmei Usuba Knife and have found it exceeded my expectations.The blade is constantly exposed to moisture from fish, vegetables, fruit, and cleaning, and is rust free.It's easy to care for, and holds a great edge.

I use this usuba bocho for chopping all manner of things, from fish, veggies, etc, and I also use to to slice and dice.It cuts effortlessly through most things and the grip is comfortable. As a bonus it arrived with a mean factory edge!I didn't even have to pre-sharpen it.Highly recommended for the price (I paid $77.99).

Global 7-Inch Deba Knife Review

Global 7 inch Deba Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Professional cook here. I don't use this knife as an all purpose knife. It wasn't intended to be one. I've tried to, but it doesn't work very well as one. It being single bevel, it tends to make the wrist turn while cutting hard objects like carrots, which is why it shouldn't be used in place of a chef's knife. Debas are meant to be used for breaking down whole chickens (not cutting the bones though) and butchering fish (can cut fish bones).

While the Global deba (and all Global knives in general) is very sharp out of the box, it is because of the concave edge they put on it, not the traditional V edge. It stays sharp longer, but without special equipment, one cannot sharpen Globals to the same factory edge with just sharpening stones.

I don't see how Global can really classify this knife as a deba though. It's too thin to be a real deba and rather light. Debas are usually twice as thick and have a tougher edge, rather than the delicate edge on the Global deba. I had to sharpen this knife to a more obtuse angle to use it for its intended purpose because the edge kept on rolling or chipping. Plus, it's rather expensive. There are much better debas out there made with better steels for the same price or cheaper. I applaud Global for being unique in their designs, but function over form is extremely important with knives in the professional kitchen. A deba is meant to be used and abused with no babysitting.
