Shun Premier 9 Piece Knife Block Set

Beautiful set except for the honing steel

I recently received my Shun Premier knife set and discovered that the handle on the honing steel did not match the beautiful walnut finish handles on the balance of the set. Cutlery and More dutifully stepped up and sent another one free of charge but warned that the honing steel handles commonly do not match the rest of the set. Quite frankly, this is unacceptable when spending closing to $1,000 for the package. Upon closer inspection, I found that the honing steel is manufactured in China and not Japan, as is the rest of the set. That is a little disingenuous as the set is supposed to be of Japanese manufacture. Anyway, the knives are as expected; well balanced, sharp and beautiful.

Love These

These Knives are just gorgeous, they all came individually packaged so it took a bit of tie to unwrap it all, which makes sense since they are so precious, totally stunning and very very sharp.

Beautiful set!!

I love the premier style compared to the classic. Not only the look but the contour of the handle on the premiers really fit my hand well. Stay sharp much longer than German steel. Just be careful because they will chip!
