why? are you planning to use the knife as a decoration?
The etchings are tiny, hardly noticeable. The bigger concern you should have is what sort of defects these knives have. I got a bunch of knives during the last sale and I couldn't tell much, except 1 that looks like the tip was broken off and they rounded it down.

I picked up 3 small cutting boards and a sharpener this time around. The prices on the knives aren't as great as last time, especially compared to the Kaji initial price mistakes last time.
50% off the Shun website price is pretty relative since other retailers such as Amazon carry their products too at lower prices.

ex. The Sora Santoku 5.5"
https://shun.kaiusa.com/sora-holl...-5-ol.html
vs.
https://www.amazon.com/Shun-Hollo...01DYHI4NK/

$50 at Shun (Warehouse products with possible imperfections, no warranty, non-returnable) vs. $79.95 at Amazon (new normal product).

Taking all the above into account the discounts are pretty underwhelming.

Their utility knife is absolutely the best. Probably the most used knife in the house for us.

OK for a professional kitchen, but I would hate to purchase such beautiful knives for my home and have them marred by XXXX across the blade.

I take it you haven't bought one of their knives from the warehouse sale. The XXXX isn't huge and doesn't stretch across the entire blade. I have bought multiple from them and have only had one show up with a XXXX and it was pretty gosh darn small. The quality of the knives and prices during this sale make it hard to pass up.

Is 400 for a 8" Fuji chef and 6" utility decent? Not up to speed on prices vs quality, but I have been waiting on some new knives.
