It's soooooooooooo pretty.

Want to try it right now!

I would KILL for this just (just not kill with it, haha!)

who knew a knife could be so pretty?!

WANT!!

Did anyone notice this knife costs $400? Wow.

Ohhh, I want. I want bad.

Oh Shun Knife. I will use you proudly and praise you constantly...

Oof. This is amazing.

My husband would love this knife!

That is the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. I'll bet it makes even the most mundane chopping awesome.

cool! i'd be able to chop things!

BOB. Your blade is calling my name!

That looks fantastic! Chop chop

You had me at nickel alloy and high-carbon stainless cladding...

WANT.

is that a deer antler handle?

OK, there have been about 100 gifts I've signed up for... but this is it.

Cancel my other entries!! I need a great knife!!

drool

Fancy! I like it. :)

ooooh! that is gorgeous. yummy.

Would love it!

Please, please please!

I NEED this! How beautiful!

This would be a great win, it's on my dad's Christmas wish list!!

now THAT is a good looking knife! hubba hubba!

love love love love i have one already would love another with a wooded handle

US only? suck a dick.

Oh man, I am obsessed with cooking and with having good knives...for the person who asked how can a knife be worth $400, you really ought to try a good knife sometime. Really hoping to win this!!!

so...does commenting increase your chance of winning?

Wow, what a beauty!

My husband has had his eye on this knife, but it's a little out of my price range for this Christmas. He would be so stunned if he got it under the tree! Thanks for this opportunity, I really hope I win.

Most beautiful!

Best give away ever! This is a truly useful tool!

Shun rocks my socks. Can you also give away a new keyboard? I drooled this one up.

That is a slutty knife, I can tell.

My husband would go nuts for this - he stares at the nicer, out of our price range knives like he was a little kid staring at a bicycle in a toy store window.

cool.

santa, please?

I love Shun knives and this one is a beauty!

My dad wanted a few new knives and asked me to pick some out. I got him a couple of the Shun Classics and they are some of the best knives I have ever used. It is the amount of detail that goes into the handle. You can barely see the shaping in it, but when you feel it, you can feel the small changes in contour to fit your hand. Very nice Knife, and I have entered so that maybe I can get one for myself. Im jealous of my dad.

i probably wouldn't know what to do with a knife this nice. but i'd try : )

My chopping board and I would be in heaven!

Oooo la la. Gimme!

That is a stunning piece. My chef boyfriend would go bonkers if I gave him that. And anytime he wasn't up for making dinner, I'd be able to say, "But I got you the meiji knife!" and he would get to work.

What a great knife.

wow this is a nice knife. might have to work some sort of velvet pillow/acrylic box/ambient lighting type of display in my kitchen if i win it.

That is one nice looking chef's knife!

It would be nice to have one!

wow! Who wouldn't want it??

:drool:

My knives are a disaster. What a treat this would be!

Wonderful knife that would perfectly replace some of my knives that are so dull they won't cut warm butter!

The beauty of this contest is that even if I don't win, you've provided me many exceptional ideas of gifts to purchase for my loved ones this holiday season.

Thanks!

For a cook like me - this would be one awesome gift.

Nice.

i've been dreaming of this knife!

With all of the wonderful and surprising items you are giving away, this is the one that prompts a comment from me. The only problem would be if I won it, my brother and daughters and son would be trying to bribe me for it...oh wait, that would be fun!

This is the perfect tool for my kitchen!

This is beautiful!

this is great! my dad would really appreciate a gift like this :)

art culinaire

this would make chop chop suey really easy

I would rather have a Shun than diamonds any day.

yes, please!!

This knife would be perfect for an upcoming project I have in mind . . .

the knife of a lifetime...

holy crap, a $400 knife? Well I gotta have that one! WOW!

a beautiful & ergonomic design. this is truly a prized piece!!

The real deal...please be mine!

this looks choptastic! would love to add to my kitchen

It seems like anything I could say would be superfluous, I'll stick with "dittoes."

Handle appears to be rosewood --- much nicer than Rudolph antlers!

Oh this would be divine! I've been waiting for a proper set of knives since I got married ( almost 3 years ago!)

Jessica

super cool

Wow. That is all.

Wow. The gift of blissful chopping for a lifetime!

KNIFE PORN

Wait, that sounds wrong.

Please? Please?

400 dollars?? for a knife?? - gotta try...Its probably super smooth.

oh my chops! my brother used my kyocera knife as a screw driver two years ago, and he's an eagle scout! PICK ME!

Now that's a KNIFE!!!

sharp.

dreaming of clean cuts and perfect weights...

I'd have to whip up something nice with this at my disposal!

I think I would enjoy cooking if I had this

Please, please please pick me? It has been that kind of year...

We started raising chickens this summer for meat and eggs. The butchering process was a bit dramatic. This knife would make next summer so much more pleasant (at least for us humans). Sorry, that's kind of morbid...but at least our meat is local...really local.

Not a lot more can be said other than WOW.

WOW, that's a Big A$$ knife. I want it!!!

I am a long time lurker on the site - this knife was plenty to make me finally sign up. Thanks for years of advice...

This is a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

an awesome knife, its on my wish list.

who wouldn't want 64 layers of nickel alloy?! yes please!

Oooooo, there's nothing quite like a new knife...

Yes, please!

an amazing knife! Just learning now how valuable a good knife is!

That's not just a knife... that's a piece of art!

This would save me from sharpening the sad shards of metal in my kitchen I call knives.

I have been looking for a good knife.

Who could eat after using a knife like that?

Too funny: "Knife Porn" - elvedon

Also too funny: "That is a slutty knife, I can tell" - mangabanga

Do you all think, that after handling a knife like that, you could give it away?

Great gift

Bob is a true artisan. Shun has done an amazing job recreating hsi distinct style and craftsmanship in these knives. This would be the knife that your grandchildren would reach for when they start to make a recipe you handed down to them.

So cool, just like an art! Best giveaway ever. I want this so badly!

LOVE! Thank-you for the chance to win!

I'm currently working with a knife so dull that it has trouble cutting through baby carrots... I'd -love- this knife

That is a ridiculously beautiful knife!

I want this beauty, true, but I would give it to my mother who hasn't bought a decent knife . . . ever.

SO GORGEOUS! Pretty, pretty please!

I respect the quality of workmanship in the forging of this knife. Should I be the lucky one, I would put it to great use in the kitchen.

A lustful piece of metal.

chop chop!!! I've been using the same knife set I purchased in college (22 years ago) and would love to go from dull to sharp.

So who won? I haven't seen any winners posted since Dec 3!

I would like to win this knife and hope this competition is still open
