    Make sure you buy a knife sharpener with it. I can't recommend the global minosharp enough. It's been amazing for my Shun Classic knives.

    • I have got shun premier made from VG-max steel… By far the best knife I have ever own :)

      I recommend not using the pull-through sharpeners, they destroy the knives very quickly. Buy a good quality whetstone and learn to sharpen by hand. Your knives will be sharper and last longer.

        Any specific brand of whetstone do you personally recommend? I'm looking at the King Whetstones from what I've seen they seem to get great reviews.

        Chef by trade. Whetstone 100% for work knives.

        Good quality pull through sharpener is more than adequate for home. Global minosharp works a treat. So simple and effective that you can do it confidently with zero practise or skill.

        • So you use whetstone at work but pull through at home? Is whetstone a pain in the ass to do or something?

          • @bleeder: Pull through can be done by anyone, even miss 10. Easier to set up, easier to clean, especially when it is for only 1 or 2. At work it is a 6-10 knives at a time deal.

      • Totally agree. Sharpen by hand file and the trick with anything knifey is always work it away from you wen using. And most importantly never ever leave your blades or handles wet nor in dishwasher. Run the blade under hot water after use, wipe it straight away and store. Water or wetness r no good for knives.

      Your expensive Shun is desperately shouting for some whetstones.

    • Use the bottom of a ceramic glass or a brick

  • +1

    Sharpeners are handy, but they eat up the steel and the knife gets smaller.
    I use bottom of a porcelain cups or plates to sharpen my knifes. It requires to be more patient, but it makes the knife quite sharp, if you apply good angle pulling.
    Bottom of your cups could get black though.

    • Just buy a sharpening stone; a Bear brand Silicon Carbide combination stone from Bunnings, not pre-oiled. About $25 or so, if you can sharpen on a cup, using a stone will be like a miracle.

  • German steel but made in China.

    • many knives are now made in china, they even make vg10 steel knives in china now, and puma bowie knives have a model made in germany and same one made in china with the price difference, blades are sent to china to finish and add handle.

      it’s the alloy of the steel and tempering that is important rather than where it is ground and finished.

    Victorinox knives are probably the sweet spot for price and performance, good steel, good shape and edge profile, easy to look after and sharpen.
    They go on sale quite often too.

    • +1

      Even the normal price of ~$60 for a 20CM Fibrox is well worth it IMO.

      • +1

        victorinox fibrox knives are punched from plate, not drop forged like these ones which have a thicker blade and a bolster. i have some fibrox knives and the benefit for me is they can go into the dishwasher, can’t do that with my shun or miyabli knives.

        $30 for drop forged knife with a storefront warranty isn’t bad.

  • $10 flat shipping or free delivery over $89 spend.

  • Why not buy 10 dollar knifes and pull through sharpeners. Unless you are a pro chef you use a knife 3 days a week if that.. a pull through sharpener shaves metal off so makes the blade weak in theory but I have a 10 dollar knife that I use for most stuff and I have a 120 dollar knife which I get sharpened at my butchers for 10 bucks ..3 years on I am about to look for another 10 dollar knife..So by my count and I am no professional cheap knife and cheaper pull through sharpeners are better value unless you are a pro chef or jack the ripper.I use the knife for cutting vegies and meat and I take out the 120 dollar knife when guests are around,,I dont get the japanese folded over steel deal if all you do is chop a few vegies and some meat..Anyone of you knife experts care to correct me ? And by the way no 50 dollar pull through sharpener either..just a 10 dollar one which leaves bits of steel lying all around and the knife sharp as a razor
