Had this knife for about a year (actually posted about it when I first received it http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1034941-Proper-Kiritsuke-usage-%28re-Shun-Kiritsuke-Blue%29-*long-but-please-read*), But have never warmed to the blade design...It's an outstanding knife, cuts like a dream, and is overall gorgeous, but I've always used a tradition shape Chef knife with a rounded belly, and more suited to the pinch grip, and the times I have used the Blue it just feels unwieldy, which is not good when I'm working during a dinner crowd.
Will trade for a Shun/Wustoff/Henckels or similar, in 8-9". Need not be perfect, as the Kirit is not.
Knife has been used probably 2 dozen times at home, never cleaned with anything more abrasive than a bottle brush. Tip has a tiny bend to it, tiny enough that I can't seem to capture it in the pics (I'll keep trying though). Will probably disappear during 1st sharpening. Other than that, there's not faults to list. Comes with the hard sheath pictured.
The entire album can be viewed at: http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/macgyver671/library/Shun. I can also take other pics if requested.
