great collection, I am glad to see we both use a few Shuns

I personally love them and would part with some of the others first. I'm also partial to the Classics and Pros with VG10. Not too much on the "super steels" version of them.

Woof!!! That's nice. Is the wood stabilized?

I would assume so Adam. They originally was going to do it with coco-bolo but didn't have a piece large enough.
