Firstly the knives look and feel beautifull, the steel is top notch but there are a few things that could be done better. Notably the varnish on the handles look cheap, its thin and not properly applied in a few places. The bamboo box is nice but also in some areas the finish was poor. I’m not sure if this was a manufacturing defect or damage done after it had left the factory. The blade though is second to none. Having said that considering the price you are paying for the knives you’d expect the best. I’d consider the normal range or even the elite both of which currently cost more.

Picked up the set in gold box sales for $149. It’s expensive, but it certainly does the job well. Really does slice thru steak with ease. Though the blade is scary to clean, any accident, blood is unavoidable, so my wife does not like it because it’s too sharp. Construction itself is perfect, the weight of it, how it holds in your hand, all done nicely.
The box is very nice as well. Finally it comes down to the price. At $149, I thought it’s alreay overpriced, but still reasonable and within range. If I had to spend the full price of $300, I can’t say it’s worth the money.

I purchased these on a whim. I am so happy I did, I have never been this impressed by a steak knife. good presentation, good feel, and its amazing at how well it cut through a rib eye. It was like butter, I went and got one of my JA Henckels steak knifes and did a side by side test on same steak. two to three saws with the henckel one pull with the Shun. I am now a fan and will be looking at other Shun products. Thanks Amazon for the killer sale price and putting it in the deal box so I stumbled across it.

These are indeed very nice knives, picked them up on a Gold Box deal for $149.00.
As previous reviews state, the knives are surprisingly sharp, the blades have a stunning finish, and the handles are both beautiful and comfortable in the hand. I found the storage box to be of excellent quality as well without defect.
One minor nit- on one side of the blade the word “Shun” is applied to the blade rather than embedded into the steel, while a nearby larger black letter is embedded. In other words, it feels raised as if it was painted on. The first time I used the knives, while cleaning it felt like there was a tiny piece of dried potato or something stuck on the knife. Took me a while, and a magnifier, to discover the Shun applied label. Personally, I feel a steel of this quality should be mirror smooth without any irregular raised portions for ease of cleaning. Considering the cost of the knives, I will have to deduct one star for this.
Otherwise perfect !
