A 'Wow" addition to the home cooking tool box
First, I've come to love Shun knives as the best value for money in higher end cutlery. These two knives are an interesting pairing. The cleaver is a beast. The 10" hollow ground is a highly flexible razor. As a note, neither look like the Damascus steel of other Shun's .
Classic cleaver:
1. I've not imagined much need for the big knife. I was wrong. I first used it to whack through a whole chicken, oriental style. It did the job perfectly.
2. In the process of cutting the chicken, I had bok choy to thin chop. I used this big boy and discovered that it is also the best veggie chop knife I have. The control and speed of the knife in rocking mode is superior to the 2 high end metzaluna's I had become used to.
3. The knife is heavy and solid. Sharpening to surgical edge is easy maintenance.
10" hollow ground salmon/ham knife:
1. The sharpest and smoothest thin cutter I've ever seen.
2. Highly flexible blade enables straight cuts. The knife...
super knifes
Great knives. Cleaver is great for breaking down chickens, etc. Slicer is exceptional on filleting salmon. Highly recommend, knives have superb balance. Would buy again.
Helps me with my Iron Chefin'
I can not believe how much I got these for in the Gold Box. I'd just told my husband I wanted a cleaver and the next day this appears. They're sharp, of course, and the cleaver has some weight to it. My only real issue is one of storage. I honestly have not used the salmon knife as I bought this set just for the cleaver - and it cost less than just the cleaver alone.
