PSA: That $400 Japanese knife set I bought is collecting dust

I dropped $400 on a Shun chef knife set two years ago thinking it would level up my prep work. Turns out I only use one petty knife from the whole set and the rest sit in the block. My $60 Mercer from a restaurant supply store gets grabbed 9 times out of 10. Anyone else regret splurging on a fancy knife set?

Is it really that deep though? I mean a knife is a knife. You spent $400 on a set but you still grab the cheap one most of the time so what's the actual problem? Sounds like you're just complaining about having too many knives more than anything else.

Bought a $200 set once and now I only use the paring knife for opening packages.
