Wusthofs, globals and shuns are all great knives...if you know how to take care of your belongings. I havent owned a MAC yet. But shuns are my favorite to work with. My wusthof's egde seems to dull a little faster than the other two. It is also a little heavier...which isn't unbearable. I didn't notice before i bought the other two, actually. Globals are really sharp too, but i don't like the metal handle. And my pinch feels so much more relaxed/natural with my shun.

@oakgrasssib This is true. For the home cook, a Dexter or Victorinox is plenty of knife. Chef's, paring, slicer for under $100. Likewise, a full set of Lincoln Wearever aluminum pots and pans (used in professional kitchens everywhere) can be had for the price of just one or two All-Clad pieces.
It's evidence that the marketing works.

@me1337je KAI is the parent company, who bought Kershaw. Shun is the product line name.

@forkedroad He's been a paid spokesperson for Shun (Kershaw, now KAI) for years.

Hey guys, I'm a pro sharpener, and knife-reviewer. Shuns are good knives and I'm not getting a penny to say this. Personally, I own only a couple of Shuns, but many other knives of great quality. If you want a Shun, buy it, do NOT get a Cutco. Cutco is for losers. You don't want Chefs to think that you a loser, do you? :o) Nawww... didn't think so. Get that Shun. If not, then check out chefknivestogo and choose your sword!

@hoodedraider I'm a pro sharpener. And, well, you can get great results at home with some practice. I can give you a few tips that, with a month of practice, you'll be addicted to sharpening things. 100 bucks for gear and you'll sharpen great. Trust me. Shuns do sharpen up nice too, they forge the steel rather well.

@hoodedraider This is simply not true, because no professional sharpener is willing to take an hour and a half to sharpen my knife up to 15,000 grit shaptons, and finish with chromium oxide and a smooth strop; at least not without ridiculous costs. If you don't have the skill to sharpen freehand; buy a wicked edge or an edge pro system, and you can achieve a better edge than any professional sharpening service. Think about it.

Aren't they called "Kai Shun"?

@STROMBIE1 What are you talking about? Any piece of metal can be sharpened and resharpened, the same goes for Shuns when they dull. Shun's warranty covers lifetime free sharpening, lots of companies do this, don't drink the Cutco Kool-Aid, and buy into their marketing lies. Furthermore, VG-10 has worlds better wear resistance and edge retention than Cutco's 440A junk; meaning that their blades will last far longer than Cutco's crap ever will.
