Shun Premier Sumo Santuko
I don't know what the F+D board's opinion on Shun knives is, but would I be making a mistake if I purchased this knife.

I have a set of shun knives. They are incredible. I don't think you can go wrong with that knife.

Ask Caplewood, he's very opinionated and condescending in the subject.

I'm happy with my shun

Ive had that exact knife for about 2 years. Extremely happy with it. I normally only cook for 2 so i don't need to dice to many veggies, but when i do i will say it would be nice to have a 10 inch chefs knife. That will be my next knife purchase at some point. It will be a shun.

Shuns suck in comparison to other Japanese knives. I would be glad to help this op anyway I can
My dad got my mom a shun for Christmas against my advice, it is the anniversary edition with Demascus steel. Gotta say, it's a nice knife it just doesn't hold an edge for shite

how often should a normal person sharpen theirs?
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:10 pm to Lester Earl
Hone it before each use and you won't have to sharpen really more than once a year
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:14 pm to Caplewood
what does hone mean

i googled it, i always consider that sharpening
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:23 pm to Lester Earl
A butcher steel, the metal rod in the blocks. I like the dexter brand flat steel. They are fricking expensive but worth it especially for high end jap steel

Here is a short video that explains the difference... But I agree, you're making the knife sharper by honing it... Just not by removing steel like with a sharpener.

i have this old antique hand me down i use. But i wouldnt mind a new one
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:26 pm to Yat27
It's mainly adjusting the edge on the knife and keeping it sharp rather than actually "sharpening" it
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:28 pm to Caplewood
Yeah... Removing folds in the very edge of the steel.
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:30 pm to Lester Earl
If it's old it probably doesn't have much grit left on it, drop the 140 on the one I posted and you won't regret it. Keeps an edge like a champ
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:33 pm to Caplewood
Where can you find them? i dont see it on amazon unless im searching the wrong thing
Posted on 9/25/14 at 11:33 pm to Caplewood
You actually imparted your knowledge in the subject with just saying how much every knife sucks. 
Any suggestions on a knife that holds a solid edge that ain't break the bank?
I know you aren't a fan of Henckles
