Improper cutting technique, or improper care can easily damage the edge of this knife, rendering it useless. I would suggest anyone who owns this knife to be careful when washing it in the sink. If you drop it or bang it against steel sink/faucet, or other items in the sink, don't be surprised to see nasty chips in the blade. This is generally not a problem you need to worry about with the more robust German knives like Wustoff or JA Henckels.

But yes, $15 flat fee is as good as free. I sharpen my Wusthofs at a housewares store. about 8-12 per blade. The only thing with shipping is I send all of my Shuns at once due to the flat fee; just realized it's $2K of knives in a single package.
Which automatic sharpener do you use?

Now I'm curious how shun sharpens your knife when you send it in.

Went through a couple of knives
I have Shun Premier at home. But 90% I'm reaching for Global 8" chef knife
The fit to your hand matters. I'm just naturally comfortable with Global
Shun feels bit brittle. I have not chipped mine, but it feel like I can break it…
Not in love with how it feels when I cut …
Try cutting potatoes , onion, etc
The right knife "feels" predictable and comfortable. It does what you think it will do.
If you get a knife that does something different then what you expect ( feel, speed, sharpness, grip) I would try again with different brand.
They likely use a belt system to sharpen their knives. The particular steel they use is rather brittle which makes it quite easy to chip.
This is decent price for a Shun, though if you don't care about brand name, design, or free lifetime sharpening you can get a Tojiro or Takamura which will perform better for around the same price.

Good to know! Tojiro I found on amazon, maybe my local knife shop has Takamura.
nice find
What automatic sharpener do you have

As for automatic sharpeners, I used to be in the stones only camp. I will only use stones on our knives, but use whatever keeps your knives sharp. A dull knife is a dangerous knife.
