When I moved to Hawai'i from Arizona I sold almost everything I owned. This included what at the time I considered a pretty slick little assortment of Henckel 4 Star and Pro S knives. Sense then I've been using my parents (they're old, I moved out here to help take care of them) crap knives, so I was pretty stoked to get a Henckels Pro S 7" Santoku this last Christmas...
Now that I had a "decent" knife I got to thinking "I'm gonna be here for awhile, I need to start looking for some decent stuff to cook with", so I headed down to the big city (that would be Kona, population 34,000). I went into the only specialty cookware store I could find and they happened to carry Shuns, in particular the Shun Classic 9 1/2" slicer...
I saw that and went...ohhhhhhh...shiny...need slicer:drool:
Ok, so now I own a Shun. I get it home, take it out the box...damn! this thing is sharp, much sharper then any other knife I've had. This gets me curious about what else is out there. I start checking out web sites, reading forums (never do that, it's like the old "first one's free kid" thing, except it ain't free), and ordering an Asai AS damascus 180mm nakiri from EE (unfortunately it's still on order). Then I find this on clearance...
