Deal Details
Lots of Shun knives from their Kanso line at 40% off! [kaiusa.com]

The sale has prices starting at $64 for a pairing knife [kaiusa.com], $104 for a 8" Chef Knife [kaiusa.com], and up to $368 for a 6pc knife set [kaiusa.com]. Many other knifes available.

Kanso Line
If you have admired the simple lines and effortless grace of Japanese design, you have experienced kanso. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means "simplicity," but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, we took away anything that doesn't matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A—highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso's Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of tagayasan wood, sometimes known as "iron sword wood." The handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. Full-tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food's freshness and best taste.

I bought a set of Shun knives a long time ago. They were very expensive, but promised lifetime free sharpening, and then, "Oops, we changed our minds, we won't sharpen your knives after all."

Super-crappy company to deal with. No integrity at all.

How much to pay shipping both ways? My local knife sharpening master charges $15 per knife.

Their website is still offering free sharpening service... by any chance, were your knives serrated? since that's the only type of knives they mention not providing the service for.

I'd imagine so, based on the way they've sliced and chopped their regular prices?

Dual core knifes are best of both worlds hard carbon steel center and softer stainless on the outside to protect the center and they don't need to be oiled as often .

I have both Shun and Wusthof knives and will say that I won't buy another Shun since they are brittle. Shun are supper sharp but chip pretty easy. Great for delicate (sushi) cuts but I'm a bit ham fisted.

Free! For Lifetime! Until they change their mind again.
Sorry, been there, done that. I'm not making this up. They said lifetime free sharpening, and then they just changed their mind. They are beautiful knives, though.
