Extremely Sharp out of box!
I am a knife enthusiast and home cook with years of experience of restoring and sharpening western style and Japanese cutlery.I have found that most new knives out the box could use a little touch up on a strop at least.These are perfect. I guess I got lucky. I purchased these as a gift and I’m so impressed I’m may get another set.If you’re looking to buy these and want an upgrade try these knives Treat them well and they will last. Hand wash ONLY….DONT chop through bones or pry things open.About some of the negative reviews…From experience and speaking to knife makers over the years,The “VG -max” Steele they use is very hard but that also makes them susceptible to chipping if used incorrectly. This steel holds a sharp edge longer but also makes them brittle(if used properly this not a problem and can happen to any knife). So good care is needed. DO NOT use these to pry or cut through bone. Use a cleaver for heavy tasks. Chicken joints and fish are fine in my experience.

Broke almost immediately
Supposedly high end knives, and one of them had a chip on the blade almost immediately. Called Shun, and they said “wasn’t their fault”. Look elsewhere if you want quality and customer service

Excellent Knives
All you need in this small set. One extra slot for the chef’s favorite knife.Excellent quality and the blond wood looks beautiful. Expensive, but worth it.
