Outstanding performance, Superlative Knives!
January 16, 2013
I debated several knife lines before purchasing this Shun Classic 9 piece set. The set is expensive, which was part of my debate, but I decided to go ahead based on the idea that knives are a lifetime investment, and I couldn't be more impressed. I received a lot of helpful information about knives at the Crabtree Valley Store from Jake, the assistant manager. This set has nearly every knife you would want (I added a utility and a second paring). The quality of the knives leaves me grasping for adjectives-superlative, amazing, unreal. Cutting potatoes is like slicing through warm butter. I can't overstate the sharpness. The handle is very comfortable, the blade is very aesthetically pleasing. These knives have exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled with my purchase.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Strength, Versatile, Sharpness, Shape, Weight
