Shun's marketing department is running the company. And redefining knife types. Engineering is a cube farm in the basement. And I can't find my ******** flag. :cool2:

But still at $99 sale price, it may not suck.

The Shun Classic Kiritsuke Knife is used for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife and offers top cutting performance and versatility, ideal for slicing and push-cuts. Julienne, dice, or brunoise vegetables with ease. It's also an excellent choice for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, and particularly fish. It slices cooked proteins easily and gracefully and features a slightly curved edge so that it even works well with rocking cuts.

Also perfect for carving pumpkins and opening coffee cans, in the ancient tradition of the Japanese swordsman.
 
I like that the PC word for shill is now referred to as Brand Ambassador. I'm looking at you Chris Cosentino.
 
Chris Cosentino ain't got nuthin' on Alton Brown:

That being said, I could sleep easy whoring myself out to sell some housewives a couple knives they may end up chipping.
 
I would be confused too if my knives looked like this...

I agree with this sentiment. Shuns and Miyabis are always on sale. At the sale prices, they are not bad...arguably better than Henckels and Wusthofs which are priced comparably. They are good for starting into Japanese knives.

That said, I would not buy a Shun at full price.

Alton brown is not a chef, so him being a whore is more understandable.
 
Not a chef, but is he truly someone that should be disrespected in the culinary world?
