I was lucky to get this set during the goldbox sale at $200ish. Best $ I've ever spent on knives. Great handling and very nice looking on my kitchen counter. I wish this set come with more knives but I'm very happy with the pieces that came in this set. I especially like the shears which comes apart for easy cleaning. Yesterday, I used the chef knife and did cut myself a little so be very careful when you use any of the knives. I do hope they stay sharp and never need to be sharpen.

I'll be honest. I lusted for these knives. I just didn't want to pay $350.00 for this set. However one day I found a timed Gold Box deal on the knives for $199.99 and I snapped them up without the normal spouse check before spending that much money. The spouse has since approved of the purchase.
These knives are incredibly sharp. They use a different steel, VG-10, and are sharpened to a 16-degree angle, much sharper than the normal 22-25 degree angle of most knives. If it matters to you these are also the knives that are used and endorsed by Alton Brown.
One final point. Shun provides lifetime free sharpening for these knives, including return postage. Just ship them to Shun and they will be sharpened. The knife set comes with a honing steel that has a 16 degree guide built into the honing steel. Be sure not to sharpen or hone the knives using normal sharpeners or honing systems. They are set to a different angle.

Super sharp, but a few weeks after I got them, one of my knives had pitted and got rust stained. I sent it back to Shun and got it replaced, no questions asked.

Today this went off as a lightening deal but was sold out in less than 5 minutes after opening for sale. How many did they have for sale? One, two or three units? As soon as I went to the checkout the deal was off and back to the normal price. What gives?

I've used my mom's old Cutco set for many years. Not bad knives, but when you can get Shuns for essentially the same price, Cutco becomes a flaming ripoff.
I don't want to slam Cutco too hard, because you're also buying a lifetime customer service package with the knife, so that if it chips or breaks they will replace it, and they will always sharpen it free just by giving the knife to your Cutco rep for sharpening.
But even with a new edge on it, a Cutco knife is like a butter knife next to a Shun. Serrated blades are nice--but have you sliced bread with the Shun chef's knife? It goes right through. Amazing what a truly sharp knife can do. I imagine with some crustier breads a Shun or Global bread knife would do better.
I have a top-range Henckels serrated utility knife (you know the one--the Tomato Knife) and it was very good for a long time. But this Shun utility knife goes through a tomato in a way I don't remember that Henckels doing when it was new. And the Shun, once again, is not serrated. If I'm simply thin-slicing my tomato, I usually go with the chef's knife. Talk about quick. You don't need a serrated tomato knife if you have properly-sharpened Shuns in your block.
What else have I noticed? I don't use the paring knife much. My cooking is more of a rustic type with lots of slicing and chopping. When you go through as many tomatoes, carrots, onions, parsley and cilantro and garlic as I do, you sometimes forget about the paring knife. The big boy gets all the work.
As for the reviewer that prefers his Wusthof set because it holds up to the dishwasher: 'nuff said. You should not have quality knives in your home. The way to keep your Shuns clean and cared for is to keep a good nylon brush nearby, and rinse and brush off your knife as soon as you're done using it, every time. Make it a habit. Learn to do that and no scrubbing or dishwasher will ever be missed. Take Aslan's advice and wipe off your blade before setting it aside. Care for it and it will care for you.
I have a good idea for you who want dishwasher-safe cutlery:
Cutco.
You can even buy my used Cutco knives on ebay for a shockingly high bid price considering their quality and age.
If you want something that will actually cut like the dickens, and are willing to foster the care habits that will keep it doing so, maybe you're ready to step up to the shuns.
