  • By far the sharpest set of knives we have ever had.
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
I bought a single Shun knife when I found none of our knives could do a decent job of slicing raw tuna. We bought this set after being so impressed. The blades are beautiful, and the handles are perfectly shaped. Just a couple comments. First, these are REALLY sharp. Be careful cleaning and handling as well as during use. Next, don't panic if you think you see a spot of rust on the side. The "Shun" logo is small, but it's in a rust-red color! Finally, just one quirk. Since the knives are so sharp, the blades are rather wide and very smooth. they actually do not work too well on the simple task of cutting cheese. The cheese really sticks to the side. So save one of your "hack" knives for this mundane task. ... show more

  • Cutlery a cut above the rest
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
Excellent cutlery. I find that I can cut produce and meats thinner and easier than I have ever been able to before. Beware, however, the description says that you will get the Taskmaster Shears. I did not get them but standard shears that were best suited for cutting herbs and use with other light tasks. When I brought this to the attention of Amazon, they took care of my and now I have the actual Taskmaster shears with the bone notch as well. They are sold separately on Amazon as Shun DM7300 Multi-Purpose Shears, Black/Silver I am convinced that the Shun line of knives are the best that I could have purchased for the money. I would recommend them to anyone that really puts their knives to serious and regular use. If you don't really challenge your knives or use them a lot then I would recommend a less expensive set of knives or else you may not get your money's worth from them. In the attached photo they are on the left with the longer blades and the bone notch. ... show more

  • Sharp and Sleek
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
For those who like to cook and are gentle with their knives (i.e. you wash by hand and put them away right after cooking) these knives are perfect. So sharp everything was cutting like butter when I first got them. They still work great months later and clean up easily.

  • Go full ninja!
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
These high quality, razor sharp blades makes you feel like you’re holding an Hittori Hanzo blade. I assassinated 5 pounds of chicken in the air with quick overhand swipes. Err to caution, and don’t go around ninjaing anything that doesn’t need to be ninjaed. Samurai are a peaceful people unless provoked. ... show more

  • Beautiful and Functional Knives (Get a Better Bread Knife and Block)
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
Shun Classic knives are wonderfully made and useful knives with attractive Japanese styling. However, there is a way to get a better bread knife and block over that shown with the 7 Piece Set. Although the 8 inch Chef's knife is heavy enough, the six inch Utility knife that comes with the set is somewhat thin and light (why I did not give five stars) , and is not great for chopping vegetables. If you want something that is still heavy enough to do a great job with vegetables and chops better than a chef's knife yet is more nimble than the large Chef's Knife for chopping vegetables, I recommend getting the Shun 7" Santoku knife. If like me, you don't want a hollowed Satoku one with the indentations in the side, factory authorized vendors other than Amazon such as Cutlery and More (tax fee also) sell the solid Shun Satoku for the same price as the hollowed out. As some people have reported accidentally chipping the knives, I recommend buying them from factory authorized dealers such as Amazon or such as Cutlery and More to insure your lifetime warranty is available. You may want to ask if not sure before you buy. I bought the Shun Classic 5 piece insead of the Classic 7 piece set (which is exactly the same except it is missing Shears and the 9 inch Bread Knife and has a more attractive symbol burnt into the block instead of a label) to get a more useful bread/tomato utility knife for the same price net. To do that, I bought the serrated six inch Shun DM0741 Classic U2 (Ultimate Utility) Knife to replace the bread knife as it offers much more utility with its serrated edges and because it is more agile and versatile at six inches in length instead of nine inches like the long bread knife included with the 7 piece set. I am replacing the missing shears with a pair of Kershaw Taskmaster Shears (same as Shun, $20 less) or a pair of Dahle German made hardened steel all around shears. The total price of the five piece set with the added more fuctional Shun DM0741 Classic U2 (Ultimate Utility) Bread/Tomato knive and alternate Shears, is the same as 7 piece set, only you than have a better Bread/Tomato Knife and more attractive block. ... show more

  • Excellent-top notch
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
It just so happens that we had a professional chef at our house doing a side job with his best friend and I showed him our new knife set, and he said he has brands knives, he has about 20, we have 6 knives and a pair of kitchen shears that unfortunately has a nick in them right away that they do not close all the way, but he assured me that they are 100% customer orientated and I will not have any problem with an exchange, my ownly negative is that I didnt have the foresight that I would really need a bigger knife holder :) I plan to buy a few more for sure as expensive as they are, they will be with us for life! ... show more

  • Rusts in the dishwasher
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
Overall I like these knives, but for how much I’m paying for them, I’d think I’d be able to clean them in the dishwasher instead of by hand. But maybe that’s something about “good knives” that is known that I didn’t know. They get rusty in the dishwasher, so now I wash them by hand. They are much sharper than the Farberware knives I had before, but after several uses, I have noticed that they’re already starting to dull. Overall better than what I had, but not as impressed as I thought I’d be given how much I’m paid for them. ... show more

  • Highly recommended knife set.
Color: Black Size: 7 Piece Set
Knives are very sharp and high quality. Although they are expensive, they are going to last a lifetime with proper care. I bought this on sale at $300 and feel like it's well worth it. The block looks very nice on my kitchen counter.
