    you sell some expensive stuff.
    $220 for ONE knife….

    • thebargainhunter on 24/03/2015 - 09:18

      $220 is a decent starting price for a chefs knife. And Shun is a HIGHLY respected brand.
      Contrastingly… http://bit.ly/1FRZHwr

      • Palms1111 on 24/03/2015 - 10:06

        It's a carving knife, not a chef's knife.

          You have to agree - both would do a number on three blind mice though.

    OP time to actually post some bargains not just ads https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/149471/nodes

    I have a Shun (received as a gift, the one in the image minus the fork) and it is incredible, I reckon is worth every penny.
    You NEVER test how sharp is the blade with the finger, it will cut you just by lightly pressing your thumb on the blade.
    The blade shows the beautiful tell tale of the lamelar forged blade, just like a real samurai blade shows.

    Can we get a code to use for the Shun Classic Chefs Knife 20cm.

  • SydBargainer on 24/03/2015 - 09:58

    Just the knife; albeit slightly different; is on their website for $169 with no messing about with codes. $220 seems like standard price to me.

    • thebargainhunter on 24/03/2015 - 10:08

      Not trying to be a troll, but it is a bit more than slightly different - this is a 2 pc set.

      The same knife is actually much less

      • thebargainhunter on 24/03/2015 - 10:27

        WOW! Def not a bargain.

        Almost worth negging the deal. 100 bucks for a fork? Op, comeon!

          I'm not saying it's worth it, but you do have to take into account that the manufacturers often put a premium on presenting them nicely in a box. A quick look around suggests that they go for 280 and up, Your Home Depot even charges $279

          edit: only just realised this is actually from your home depot, whoops!

  • ca6leguy on 24/03/2015 - 10:22

    Carving knives are a waste of money.

  • kevitkotw on 24/03/2015 - 11:34

    If you'd like to get a proper kitchen knife, my suggestion would be goto Japanese Chefs Knife .com and have a look around.

    In my experience, dollar for dollar, anything I have bought here vastly outweighs the value obtained from common brands like Global, Shun etc. If you can stand the stunted english, the information on blade types/materials and especially how to sharpen are valuable. You will need to learn how to sharpen a knife properly if you are going to spend decent money and wish to get some value from your investment. All knives cut rubbish if they are blunt, no matter what your outlay…

    http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/HattoriForumHighEndChefsKn…
    This not a cheap range of knives, they are roughly double to the equivalent Global 'shape', and a bit more than a Shun in the same shape. The 2 knives I have owned have been the most beautiful to use. There is simply no comparison to the other name brands. There are cheaper ones on the site as well which are also less than Global and outperform them comfortably, hence why I consider it a bargain…

    Most people need 3 knives maximum as well. A small petty/paring, a chef knife and a bread knife. Spend $$ on the chef knive and perhaps the petty, serrated bread knives don't need to be expensive.

    Disclaimer - this post was rushed and I am on my way out the door to work but I consider myself knowledgeable and passionate on this subject and wanted to contribute something before people go out buying a fancy fork and costly skinny knife with limited application.

    • seanbaussie on 25/03/2015 - 09:57

      Here's my problem: I am sick of dodgy blunt knives & could buy good quality. But I don't have time to sharpen them., and also have kids whose fingers may not enjoy being sliced.
      What would you suggest as a mid option??

      • OzBragain on 25/03/2015 - 14:03

        Any knife that doesn't get sharpened will end up a dodgy blunt knife. It's not a complicated or time consuming process. Give it go.

      • kevitkotw on 26/03/2015 - 11:38

        You can pay someone to sharpen your knives. At minimum you'll need to learn to hone a knife to increase its longevity if you went this path.

        I would suggest being able to sharpen a knife well is mandatory for getting value from premium knives. I can make a cheapo wiltshire dry shave the hairs on my arm, and it will cut far better than an unmaintained expensive Japanese knife. Of course the Japanese knife with the same edge will last 10 times longer with proper care. I use japanese whetstones to sharpen my knives from dull and probably do it once every 2-3 months at home.

        There is certain behaviours that will prevent your knife from dulling as fast - no dishwashers, wash it after use, don't scrape chopping boards etc. Keeping the edge in good shape makes resharpening much easier and less time consuming.

        Regarding kids fingers… There is a train of thought that says you cut yourself less on a sharp knife, but I would not let my kids use my knives, my eldest is 3 and a half though :) I don't even like my wife using my best knives!!!

        Bottom line is if you were not going to sharpen your knives yourself but were willing to pay to have it done, buy an excellent one and learn how to care for it well. The material it is made of likely has a much higher hardness rating, which means it will need less frequent sharpening, but is harder to sharpen (which is irrelevant because you are paying someone)

        I mid price range is your goal try these:
        http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/ProMSeries.html#ProM
        I haven't used them, but I am confident it would outperform the 'name' brands dollar for dollar. They do not have particularly high hardness rating though.

        Next step up would be these in my opinion, followed by the beautifulness that is the link I posted first.
        http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/KAGAYAKIVG-10.html#KAGAYAK…

        Please read up on caring for your knife…

  • ataraxia on 24/03/2015 - 11:57

    Bad deal. You should just buy the knife itself and get the fork from daiso. Dont forget this is a carving knife not a chef knife.

    Shun is definitely a worth while brand. I bought the 3 knife set for mothers day and it is well loved. Also you still need to sharpen knives if you want them to stay sharp.

    I stopped reading when it stated that it provides complete balance. Wtf?

    • OzBragain on 25/03/2015 - 17:29

      I find a well balanced knife much more comfortable to use. If you don't notice the difference then save your money.

  • ca6leguy on 26/03/2015 - 17:10

    Sounds like a takeawayer.
