Ok, firstly, I'd like to say that this is a very cool-looking, quality knife.Compared to the other folding steak knives out there, this might be the neatest one I've seen.That being said, this is NOT a Shun knife.The first thing you'll realize upon unfolding it is "Made in USA" in big letters on the side of the blade.Normally, seeing that is a big plus in my opinion; But not on a blade I'm expecting to be a Shun.
The fact is this is a rebranded Kershaw folding knife.Given, Kershaw makes a nice blade, but it still won't hold a candle to your real Shuns.It seems that Amazon's listing makes care to not mention that it wasn't made in Japan, in the hopes that Shun lovers will assume the same quality and buy it without seeing it first.
So, in short, it's a neat knife, but don't expect it to be a Shun.It isn't.
