Excellent Slicing Knife
If you are shopping for a Shun, I assume you are already familiar with their reputation for razor-sharp edges, so I will address this knife itself.
This slicing knife is a great addition to your set. I recently used it to carve up some beef roasts and I was able to carve paper-thin slices. I didn't experience too much sticking either, this may be due to the Damascus-style pattern that creates micro air-pockets. Therefore, I think this version without the scallops will do just fine.
The knife has a good length that's great for most roasts, a tip that makes it easy to maneuver and a sturdy construction that feels balanced and comfortable. The handle is sturdy and has a slight matte finish that keeps it from being too slippery.
On another note, I have seen this knife advertised on Amazon for about $60 (which is the price I bought it for). It was first listed at $110, then went down to $60, and now as of writing this review it is back up to $110. I am...
Shun quality at a very reasonable price
Perhaps not as good looking as the paka wood classic version, this knife is nevertheless a superb slicer -just what you'd expect from the first rate Shun knife manufacturers.
Outstanding Carving Knife
I own other "Shun's"- as always a world class knife-while more expensive than some- you can't find a better knife
