I have the Shun classic 3pc set with the 10" chef's, paring and 6" utility. I love them. Their customer service is amazing. my roommate just tossed one of them in the metal sink and chipped the tip just barely. I called them up to get shipping info, they told me that I might as well send them all in since I had them for three years at the time,sent them all in to get sharpened, they said they found some tiny (i mean TINY like i never noticed) chips and they gave me all brand new knives
the only thing that you have to be careful about with these knives is that the edge will chip easier than a German knife because it is a narrower (ie thinner) thus making it sharper however you cannot chop through bones like you could with a German knife. You also need to be careful not to put them in the sink as they can get damaged by plates and other silverware in the sink and for safety reasons as well because they are so sharp you don't want anyone to just reach in the sink and cut their hand.
