I cook a lot and so far....Shun is my 1st choice in kitchen knives. If you appreciate beauty as much as function, when you have time please check out the new Shun Premier line. The prices seem reasonable. I'd certainly like to own one.
 
I desperately would love to own a Japanese "Aritsugu" chef's knife, but I would have to take out a second mortgage to afford one.
An absolutely superb knife, with the best edge I have ever seen on a commercial knife.
Prices start around the $600 mark for a basic model, and go upwards of $1700 for the top models.
 
Gee, thanks...my kitchen knives were the one area where I was happy and done spending money....now I NEED the Shun Premier chef's knife! lol
 
Shuns are overrated, overpriced but functional so if you need a BMW in the garage, a Busse in the safe and a Phillipe Patek on the wrist, have at it son.

I'll stick to Messermeisters and Forschners, but then again what do I know? I only run a restaraunt, cater for a living and consult. ; )

Run what ya brung. Japanesey knives are great, they are also priced astronomically high for you get unless you looking at something say like a TOjiro Guyon 250mm...

So I'm assuming your opinion is that Shun, Busse's, BMW's, and Patek's are overrated yet functional? If it's not just your opinion, over rated and over priced where and by whom?

We continue to have an overwhelming outpouring of positive performance comments on all the different Shun lines on the market. Sales are strong, so aperentlly pricing doesn't seem to be too much of an issue. :confused:
Ah, but what do I know?

Except for being overrated and over priced.

I'm hoping that your "Japanesey" word is simply misspelled.

...and Messermeisters and Forschners are overpriced to someone who usage and budget cater to Old Hickory and Chicago Cutlery...

you get cred for being a pro in the biz Chef, but your arrogance in the discussion is blaring..."overpriced" is a relative term here; you either can't afford or don't want to afford the higher priced brands...there are a LOT of people who desire and can easily afford the "astronomical" pricing of some of the Japanese brands...to you it is a waste of funds; but many have that disposable income to waste, and (among other reasons) that's who these other brands cater to...
 
Shuns are freaking amazing. And the fit and finish itself justifies the price (Which is fair, IMO).
I've had quite a few knives throughout these years, yet no knife performed nearly as well as my Shuns, and certainly didn't look nearly as stunning as the Shun series.
 
Wow,hadn't seen those before. That is very pretty. Thanks Dan and gargoyle. About the same price as the Wustof Ikon Chef's knife my wife bought me for Xmas, but way better looking.
