    $600+ for a Shun? C'mon. I paid that for my handforged Nakiri shipped from Sweden.

      :) I know what you know, this is still a great deal in this market lol, correct me if i am delusional.

        You are delusional, unless this represents some kind of must have aesthetic for you personally.

      Why was it shipped from Sweden? Does that somehow add to the value? I would have thought shipped from japan would have been more authentic.

      Genuine question

      Are these more collectors or do you use them for work?

        Nakiri is just the knife style, and isn't limited to where they can be made.
        I'd assume the maker is from Sweden/Europe.

    Knife lovers? Michael Myers??

  • henno on 12/07/2022 - 20:45

    Kitchen Warehouse has it for two bucks more, so I guess it's a deal? https://www.kitchenwarehouse.com.au/Shun-Engetsu-Chefs-Knife…

    Seems really expensive compared to the quality you could buy from japanesechefknife.com etc

  • Whatisthatvelvet on 12/07/2022 - 21:47

    This is one knife right?

    It doesn't walk your dog, drive kids to school and listen to the wife nag aswell?

    • bboz on 12/07/2022 - 22:00

      listen to the wife nag aswell

      Dude the knife is not that expensive.

    Price is just for dual-core.

    Imagine how much for an octa-core.

    • Fullhalter on 12/07/2022 - 23:25

      Dual-core only in shun-speak. Kitchen knife peeps call this style "coreless" and dismissed as gimmicky. That bad.

  • Anubizz on 12/07/2022 - 23:05

    Holy crap, is this titanium knife . Make sure you hide it from the Mrs when you buy this.

    This is a bad deal, for this money or even less you can get hammer forged and hand sharpened japanese knife made by a master blacksmith with a much better steel like hitachi carbon steel or sg2 stainless steel. Vg10 is a lower tier stainless steel. So no, this is a rip off.

  • jackspratt on 13/07/2022 - 01:47

    Will my food taste better if prepared with this knife?

  • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 13/07/2022 - 09:23

    Would never pay 600+ for a VG 10 knife.

    This is a rip off. You could get a Masamoto KS for $600, and that is well more in demand amongst the enthusiast community.

    My most expensive knife is an artisan made proprietary semi-stainless HD2 steel by Konosuke and doesnt even cost $600, even though its considered "expensive"….and it cuts much nicer than any VG10 or SG2 steel knife.

    This knife is uuuuuuguhleee
