Reply to comment by NumberlessUsername2 in Recommendation for BIFL chef's knife? by notproudortired

Yeah, I'm also surprised Shun hasn't come up more. I've been looking at them for myself. Makes me wonder now if they're overrated, although your experience is reassuring.

Pro Chef here. I have bought two Shuns, and one of them (the far more expensive) broke within 2 years of not-so regular use. The handle started spinning in circles. I can't say I really see too many people in kitchens around me using Shun stuff. They do feel nice in the hand though.

Might not be as popular due to the price. I can't say I miss the hundred bucks given how excellent the knife continues to be.
