Absolutely aggressive!
First off, I am a professional meat cutter. I wanted the best the market has to offer, and I'll tell you right now, THIS IS IT! I started cutting with a Victorinox straight boning, which was my standard. A bit more stiff than this narrow (flexible) blade. This Edo is a very different style of knife than I'd expect. At work I use a fillet/boning knife which is flexible, but is not comparable to this knife. Only the first two inches of the knife is truly flexible (impressively flexible), the rest stiff. The perfect proportion of flexibility and usability.
Let me also say I've tried other products, such as Dexter-Russell, and Global. Neither come close.
Out of box this knife is unbelievable, great edge, and aggressive appearance. One of the first things I did was de-bone some short ribs, which resulted with the cleanest bones I've ever had to throw away. The other remarkable feature I noticed is how clean cuts really were. The knife left so must more moisture still...
Not VG-10 as Described!
Ok, so I bought the Shun Edo 6" boning knife with a description that the steel would be VG-10. It is not, it's AUS8. It appears these Edo's were never made with VG-10 steel.
Not a huge complaint at $68.00 but this should be corrected in the description.
great knife
This boning knife exceeds my expectations. Stays sharp, I was actually afraid of it for a few weeks until I got used to it. Only negative: I cannot find a blade safe to fit it properly.
