    • Best Japanese knives you’ll ever find
Style: Block Set
Before buying this set we had a Shun knife already. After having one and using it all the time we decided to get a block set. This knife set is worth every penny, if you’ve never used Japanese knives we highly recommend. They stay sharp and this knife set is perfect for a small apartment

    • Super sharp and excellent quality
Style: Block Set
I have a set of Shun knives for over a decade. Bought this set for my daughter. Shun knives are super sharp (accidentally sliced a bit of my fingertip without feeling it, only noticed it when there was a red tint in the cabbage I was slicing, so be careful). The sharpness is durable, only need to periodically use a honing steel. The knives are light and easy to handle, but if you're cutting tough items such as an acorn squash, then the heavier European knives (Wusthoff, Henckels, etc) work better. ... show more

    • SUPER Slicey!
Style: Block Set
Shun - Top notch quality. Handmade blades. Blonde - Beautiful way to demonstrate Wabi-Sabi, the concept of beauty increasing with age and imperfection. The lighter colored wood will more readily showcase its natural wear and tear, becoming more beautiful along the way. Anyone who appreciates fine cutlery will love this set. ... show more

    • Excellent knives. Ridiculously sharp!
Style: Block Set
I already had one 7" boning knife from Shun and found myself only reaching for it for everything even though I have several quality German knives. The Shuns are sharpened at 22 degrees vs. 18 degrees like most German blades. This is achieved by a much stronger steel core that holds up. This set is perfect for all my kitchen knife needs and the block had a space for my original boning knife. ... show more

    • Great way to start a set
Style: Block Set
This is a great set of knives for the price, and a perfect way to start a new knife set. Very light and razor-sharp. The d-shaped handle is not for everyone, so I suggest feeling a Japanese style handle before you commit. Another suggestion, as your collection grows but a new knife block. It doesn't do the knives justice. ... show more

    • Best knife I've ever seen but... with great powers comes great responsibilities
Style: Block Set
This is the best knife I've ever seen. However, I must add that it cuts so well I am now afraid it would easily chop off the entire finger if I am distracted. I am a distracted guy by nature, have the tendency to let my thoughts digress while I am chopping onions. Have cut off half my nail a couple of times with other knives, but with this knife it is not going to just cut my nail. Of course it wouldn't be the knife's fault at all. So basically, just concentrate in what you are doing when you use this knife and do not get distracted. ... show more

    • Honing tool not blonde pakka wood but great knives
Style: Block Set
Honing tool is darker wood, not blonde and sort of an eyesore against the beautiful blonde wood handled knives... The knives are great as expected! Superb knives, questionable honing tool
