This addage counts double for the Shun. Made of good Japanese steel, this knife comes with an incredible edge that will make the toughest meat slice like butter. When you catch the falling knife, it also does a nice number on your finger. Nevertheless, since it did what it is supposed to do, this deserves the highest rating. (Ouch!)
Rating: 5 / 5
The best steak knife I’ve ever used. Cuts through a fillet mignon like butter. It is worth every penny.

We own a pair of these Shun 5″ steak knives, and they are absolutely excellent steak knives. They are thin, rigid, light, sleek, and well-balanced. They slice meats thinly and smoothly, with the cut falling away from the blade. We’ve also noticed that when we pull them out of our bamboo knife block, they make a steely ringing noise, like unsheathing a tiny sword. While that might not be as amusing to you, we consider it a testament to the knife’s craftmanship. I nearly forgot to mention that they are extremely *sharp,* but you could probably gather that from both reviews. We give these knives a “high recommendation,” even with the equally high price point. Now if we could only afford to buy two more…
[Edit - July 2008] After a few months of pretty constant use, we have managed to chip both knives (!) They require professional sharpening, and should absolutely never be used as general utility knives. They are quite a bit more delicate than we first thought. Still recommended, but you really have to be quite careful with them.
