shun premier knife 4 piece set for 299.99

+8 Deal Score

Cutlery and more has the shun premier knife 4 piece set for 299. It includes the following items.

4" Paring Knife
5.5" Nakiri Knife
8" Chef's Knife
4 Slot Bamboo Knife Block

I feel this is a pretty good price for 3 shun knives consider this is the premier line not the classic.

They will also give you a 30 dollars gift card, you could get honing steel after.

Not bad, my biggest complaint is how easily the knives dent. I've already ruined mine from normal use. It's super sharpe sure, but durability is questionable.

Shun Premier is VG-Max and something like 61 HRC. I've heard of chipping, but denting is the first I've ever heard. What are you doing to your knives that you can dent them?

Yeah, these knives are super hard and brittle, so denting shouldn't happen at all... Are you sure this is the knife you have?

Great find OP. These knives would cost $435 right now if bought separately and that's including the current sale price on the Nakiri, and no block.

How would you notice? They've got a hammered finish so they already come with dents all over the face of the blade. LMAO

Yeah, mine arrived all dented up, right out of the package.

Can you post some pictures? As many have said, these are HRC 61, which means it shouldnt dent unless you are banging it on some other hard steel. Are you sure you're not mistaking the hammered steel portion of the blade???

Does anyone know anything about the website/vendor that is selling these? Is "cutleryandmore.com" legit?

This is actually a decent deal on a knife set, and nothing really useless in it. I personally feel like 5.5" is a little on the short side for a nakiri, but it's still very usable.

Yes, very legit. I've purchased from them multiple times. Excellent customer service, too. They are an exclusive vendor for some knives.

You're absolutely right, I meant chip. It also really worries me because where did that chipped piece go? Here's some pics of what I mean since it happened for 2 of my 5 knives.

Yea got to be careful with VG-10/Max since they are prone to chipping. Hasn't happened to me yet but I take care to switch to my softer Henckels if I might be cutting anything hard (spaghetti squash, bone in meat, etc)
