So last night I was slicing/mincing garlic with one of my freshly sharpened Shun knives, and for those of you who know Shun’s, that’s Sharp!
I had my fingers tucked as usual, but my index stuck out just a tad. Normally you end up taking a chunk of meat off your finger tip when this happens, OUCH, but somehow, the fine edge of my Shun chef’s knife happened to literally shave off part of my fingernail right to the skin! Boy did I get lucky, sort of…

I’ve been looking for a set of Shun’s as a gift for my husband for his upcoming birthday. I’m personally a total clutz in the kitchen, and as many sliced fingers as I’ve seen in my research today I think I’ll avoid using them myself and save them just for him!
