Apparently this set is exclusive to Canadian Tire which is a Canadian hardware/tools/everything store.
This set was onsale for 399.99 CDN, and then today I checked it went back to 1.2k CDN for the set.
i don't know what to think, from the video and picture the steel is the same "Damascus" clad vg-10 Shun uses, and the handle is Pakka wood like Shun classics. Oh and they are made in CHINA.
Just thought it was interesting because I couldn't find any information on this particular set anywhere online except for the Canadian tire page.
I find it really strange that they went through the effort of getting vg-10 steel and then only brand it as Henckles International and then manufacture it in China, and then not market it at all except for one store in Canada, and then charge over 1200.00 dollars for them. Just bizzare.
