Summary: Fantastic knife
Comment: I bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves to cook, and has been slowly upgrading her cutlery from the 'bought as a set at Target' knives.
The shun knives as a whole are very well made and VERY sharp. I highly recommend them to anyone, and this knife is no exception.

Summary: beautiful balance
Comment: I recently added this knife to my rather extensive collection of over 100 knives. I like the way this knife is balanced and the way that it fits the hand -- there are right and left handed models. A boning knife is not the first knife to buy. After you have your basic assortment of knives this knife is a nice addition. If you are planning to bone a leg of lamb or a pork shoulder etc. this knife has no equal. It can be used to disjoint a chicken or a turkey as well. Shun knives are always razor sharp so expect an effortless experience as you use this knife.
I have discovered a small quirk with this knife. As is true with many 6 inch boning knives the weight of the blade is not sufficient to tip the knife blade down when placed on a cutting board or counter top so it stays flat and parallel to the work surface. Since the handle is rounded and very smooth the knife may spin away from position as you lay it down. In other words if you were not paying attention the blade could end up where the handle was and you could cut yourself. This is not really a problem as I just lay it on a kitchen towel if I am going to pick it up and set it down many times. Aside from this little quirk I would highly recommend this knife for a cook that would like to do their own boning.

Summary: Wow
Comment: I believe if you're serious about cooking, you should own great cookware and excellent knives. I finally stepped up and got excellent knives. For those who haven't heard the hype, Shun is one of the most respected knife brands in the world.
Great features of the entire line include these cool "D" shaped handles that fit your hand better. Each knife is made in a right- and left-handed version ([...] for lefties). The steel used for the blades is harder than what you would find in most other knives. The knives are EXTREMELY sharp.
If you're building your set and want to take care of the must-haves first. Move this down on your priority list. Get the chef's, paring and bread knives first. With that said, there is a place for this knife in your kitchen. As with all of my other Shun knives, this one is extremely sharp and it's relatively light.
This is an expensive, but lifetime investment. I encourage you to visit stores and feel the knives in your hand to make sure you are comfortable with them.

This is my first and I'm sure last boning knife. As with all Shun's, it is extremely sharp -- a must for a good boning knife. I was surpised by the knife's weight. Although the blade is flexible, the knife feels heavy for it's size. This gives me (a true novice at deboning and filleting) more confidence.
The famous D-shaped handle makes the knife easier to grip than other boning knives, but it can slip when greasy.

Boning poultry or fish will seem like slicing through butter using this 6-inch Shun knife. Already super sharp out of the box, it will ease right through joints and cartilage, butterfly a chop or breast and leave behind picture-perfect cuts, ready to sear, saut?? or stuff--and enjoy every last bite.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of high-carbon stainless, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping unprecedented by its competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade offers stick resistance, reducing prep--plus it's rust-free. The Alton Angle, a design contribution of cookbook author and celebrity chef Alton Brown, provides more finger and knuckle clearance than a standard, straight knife allows while cutting and slicing. The 10-degree angle at the bolster also provides extra leverage to improve control and efficiency, particularly useful with smaller knives. The ebony Pakkawood handle, made of a durable whi
