So I'm looking at Hattori, Shun (not a fan of the D shape handle though), Misono.
And yes, if you send your knife back to Shun in the states, they will sharpen it back to factory spec (16 degrees, not the german 22 degrees) for free.

Really? I find the D shaped handle of the Shun Classic is nice to hold. It's good at all angles.

The balance of the knife is perfect.

I've got a bunch of Henckels 5 star knives. The Japanese knives are very sharp and hold an edge well but are a little brittle for my liking. I've broken or chipped several. I guess it depends on what you're cutting. It you make sushi they are perfect. I haven't tried a Japanese ceramic yet. Not sure how I feel about sending it back to Japan to sharpen.
The biggest problem I have with knives is my wife who insists on a) leaving them in the sink b) leaving them in the sink full of soapy water c) putting them in the dish washer. Being married makes it impossible to have nice things

cutco is great
cuttco is distributed by Vector canada, you should look it up, nothing but good things to say about their knives and I haven't worked there for 9 years now. Great investment IMO. Good luck
