$109.99 plus 15% off if you join their mailing list - Big difference between these two?

Going by wusthof.ca and photos, there's not a lot of information. The oak looks way better though.

The wife wants some fancy knives for Christmas, so logic thrown out the window here.

I think someone is selling a very fancy looking knife somewhere in dis here forums

This one any good w/ the additional 20%?

The Shun stuff are pretty good machine made knives. If you prefer the D shaped handle, Costco.ca has a couple of similar Shun knives for $150 that's around the same performance. I still have a Shun Classic slicer from a decade ago that I pull out from time to time. You can get knifewear to sharpen it for you to improve the bevel (or try it yourself). Pretty solid low maintenance knife at that price point.

Nice appreciate the feedback.

Noticed there is a decent sale on Miyabi, but I think the Shun is better bang for bucks.. thoughts?

They're going to be about the same performance so it comes down to looks. Their factories are probably on the same street.
Make sure you pick up a ceramic honing rod. That will help extend the life between sharpening. They tend to last for a lifetime if you don't drop them.

Good stuff! I just noticed it's SG-2 steel. That's nice.

Crates and Barrel had a nice Shun Premium on sale a couple nights ago which my wife preferred the look of, but the ETA pick up date is after Feb, 2021

Thanks for this. Bought one.

edit: Turns out my parents bought us a few Zwilling Pro knives for Christmas and I'll probably be going with those instead and returning the Costco Global set. If anyone wants the Globals (and doesn't have a Costco membership/doesn't want to wait for shipping), pm me and I'll sell them for what I paid when they come in next week.

Well we went to pick up the Kaji from William Sonoma the other night and my wife grabbed it and said "it's your Christmas present now!" so now it's wrapped under the tree and I can't open and use it until the 26th

will report back if it's any good hah

I keep seeing these pop up on my Instagram feed.

I feel like any knives advertised on Facebook or Instagram have a high likelihood of being over marketed crap

You’re telling me 6 “Damascus” steel knives for $150 might not be high quality? Get outta town.

What can I say. I have a nose for these things.

You want a decent cheap knife set? Costco had a great set with some Japanese writing in them earlier in the year, picked up a set for the lake house. Great for what they are, very sharp.

It’s not always time to be a knife nerd but at least don’t buy things pretending to be something they aren’t.
