Superior Quality!
Date: June 22, 2009
"The first time I held a Shun knife I was sold! Not only do they have a great contemporary look but they are ergonomically correct, the handle fits my small hand perfectly as well as my husband's. They make food prep a joy and effortless, a great splurge if you have the option to upgrade (well worth it), you will never use another knife. Be careful, they are extremely sharp!
I highly recommend this set, the only supplement needed are the steak knives which can be purchased seperately.

Worth the Money
Date: June 8, 2009
"We received this knife set as a wedding gift and have absolutely LOVED Shun. I have had Henckles and Wustof, and these don't even compare. Definitely worth the extra money and would without a doubt recommend. Our 8 piece set includes more than we could need, or you can purchase extra pieces."

So sharp
Date: May 28, 2009
"I agonized for some time whether or not to splash out on the Shun knives or whether to go for a cheaper alternative.
I bought the Wusthof knives and got them home, opened the box and realized that I had amade a mistake.
I took them straight back and ordered the left handed Shun knives (yes they come left or right handed).
They took less than two weeks to come to the store and I am really pleased with them. They fit my hands really well and are just so sharp. They make cooking a pleasure."

Great set

"My husband and I cook in about 6 nights per week and have gotten great use out of our Shun knife set over the past year. They are very high quality and the 8-piece set has everything we've needed."
