Decent price and a decent entry level Japanese knife for someone wanting to start going down that rabbit hole. Looks like Amazon has the same deal so not really slick overall.

Then you should know that this is their entry level, cheaper knife set.

Shun steel is a bit too hard for my taste. Once dulled very hard to bring that edge back. And if I look very closely at the edge it is looks like it has taken a few micro chips. I prefer the Global blend of steel for reasonably priced Asian knifes.

Wow, that plastic handle that has terrible fit (plastic visibly, significantly proud)... has Shun sold out to compete at Kohls or something?

I really enjoy my Shun knives, but this one just looks like a different breed.

Absolutely it is, but I've bought cheaper Shun knives in the past and they're still excellent and the build quality was great for the money. Right at this pricepoint are past slickdeals of the cheaper Shuns. They look just as good as you expect and didn't have mis-sized handles.

Yes, for a different sized knife, but that deal disappeared quick

What does mean entry level? Does $300 professional level knife 5 times better, 5 times sharper or stay sharp 5 times longer???

It is their entry level knife, lowest price class. Note I believe the blade is same quality as their "Classic" series. I have classic, my parents have the Sora. Both cut great and look great.

Note: I'm left handed and in that case, the Sora actually feels better in the hand. Other series such as the Classic include a slight bulge for ergonomics which are meant for right handed users.

Shipping and processing fees are required for all Kai sharpening and warranty services ($15 for US)

Plus postage to get the knife there.

So "free sharpening" costs about $22+

Costco sometime carry those. I had mine a few year back (8 piece I believe?) For 250 dollars or so.
But yes. Those are entry level. I don't recommend

We got a set of three of these knives in different sizes, scissors, and a housing block for our wedding gift about 4 years ago, they are nice beginner Japanese steel and as the set, really helped get our kitchen equipment rounded out. However, if you're buying individual knives, you probably want to go a bit higher in the tiers…while the handles are fine, I feel like the steel itself dulls a little too easily and is hard to sharpen again. Either way, if you a knife like this, get a soft wood cutting board as well; plastic won't help these at all.

How are you sharpening? By hand using traditional water stones, Tormek, or belt sander, etc.?

This has harder steel, and if sharpened properly can be sharper
