A bunch of these can also be purchased through their Amazon storefront, with some even being cheaper.

Ex: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...CY0U/?th=1 $170 with coupon vs $200

I take my knives to a local sharpener once a year, and hone them regularly in between. He does a phenomenal job. It's like brand new knives every time I get them back.

If you want to do it yourself, get a good whetstone, watch some youtube tutorials, and practice on your cheep/old knives to get it down before you work on your good knives.

How are Mac Superior knives? Been thinking about stepping up my knife game a bit and was considering starting with a Japanese santoku blade since that seems to be the style I reach for most often from my cheap Victorinox collection.

Bought the Yaxell Mon 8in but not hollow edge, for $80 a year ago and it's been fantastic. Picking up a pair of these for Xmas gifts.

Mac is a respected brand bud, usually as chef beaters and dependable blades. Should be a nice addition to your collection. Are you sharpening your knives ? A sharpened knife makes a big difference

Just running them through the Victorinox cheap sharpener, haven't gotten into anything fancy yet. Any suggestions on a good kitchen knife sharpening system or sharpener?

I like my Shun Classics as they felt the most natural in my hand, but I already bought all the ones I'll use years ago. OP is right that they don't reliably go on sale and when they do it's random ones (instead of the whole line).

Everyone loves shun, but having owned 3 knives from Yaxell/Enso, I actually prefer them over Shun. Shun is still great, but a bit overpriced because of the brand name. You get more for the same price with Yaxell and Enso

Can you describe your sharpening procedure?

My theory is that a lot of people buy Shun (or any other popular brand) on name alone, but don't have a clue about how to sharpen them, so they quickly become display pieces.

And I get it. Trying to sharpen an expensive knife is stressful, as you don't want to wear it down faster than you need to.

Rather than spend $200 on a knife, some people just buy a Ken Onion Work Sharp and rely on those $50 Ikea sets which actually have some decent steel compositions.

regarding Shun, you can send in your shun knives and they will sharpen them all for free, if you don't want to learn to do by hand.

Myabi mizu is a good buy even when not on sale, but I didn't see any big discounts at the moment, so I wouldn't feel a lot of pressure to buy right now. I think Shun and Myabi are the two makers that make the most eye catching production knives. However, Yaxell / enzo probably gives more knife for the money. The time to buy yaxell is when there's a 20 percent off coupon going...it will stack with any "lowered price" knives, but doesn't work on "clearance" knives. cannot use any sitewide discount coupons on shun or miyabi so just gotta wait for a nice sale to find the cheapest prices on those brands
