Shun Kaji 6" Boning Knife
From our premium Kaji line by Shun, this boning knife is handcrafted in Japan and designed to work around bone, flesh and sinew to deliver maximum yield. The strong, razor-sharp blade is created through a blend of new technology and centuries-old handcrafting traditions. Blade is constructed with a core of SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel. Inspired by centuries-old samurai sword-making techniques, the blade's construction creates a supersharp cutting edge. Slim, pointed blade provides excellent control for precision cutting tasks. Handle is made of moisture-resistant, resin-infused PakkaWood, shaped for comfort and control. This NSF-certified knife meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Sharp as a razor, Slippery as a fish
August 6, 2011
This knife is absolutely beautiful. It is balanced perfectly, and has an edge out of the box that could break 1000 chickens down without sharpening.
The Handle. While beautifully crafted, and wonderful to look at, is super dangerous, and Painfully Non-functional. The point of a handle is to have a functional portion of your knife that you can grasp on to with your palm and fingers. As an example, when boning a chicken, from whole bird to 12 pieces, I find my hand and handle getting slick. The last thing you want is a a razor sharp knife with a handle you can't keep a hold on.

Beautiful craftsmanship but an expensive disappointment for me. I would have rated it lower then 3 stars for this possibly fatal error, but it is a beautifully crafted tool that still earns respect.
I am a professional, but this knife does not enter the kitchen with me anymore.

Excellent design and razor sharp
March 28, 2011
This is truly the only boning knife you will ever need. Shun Kaji are heirloom quality. This is an exceptional knife. The core of this knife is a SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel. Extreme. Durable. This knife will bone a duck, chicken or fish without any effort whatsoever. SHARP!
Pros: Quality, Balance, Size, Sharpness, Shape, Weight
Cons: none

The Best Boning Knife
January 5, 2009
This is not my only boning knife, but it will be from now on the only one I will use. The blade length, handle and weighting of the knife make it a dream to use. As with all Shun Kaji knives, it is razor sharp and makes boning jobs incredibly easy. It is a great addition to my kitchen.
