What makes Shun worth the upgrade?

Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

How should I care for my Shun knife?

Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?

Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

How often should I sharpen my knife?

Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?

Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

Description

Review: Great knife. Packaging could be better - Good gift. The knife blade is good. The handle and the packaging could be more premium for the price Review: Super Messer - Habe fast alle Messer der Shun Kai Serie. Bin bei allen Messern begeistert, Der Kastanien-Förmige Griff ist einfach sehr angenehm. Habe meine Koch Ausbildung sowie ein Jahr danach nur mit diesen Messern gearbeitet, Bleiben sehr lange scharf, keine Probleme/Schmerzen im Handgelenk. Beim sauber machen sollte man auf den rauen Teil eines Schwammes verzichten, da sonst die schöne Struktur der Lagen verschwindet. Für den Hobbybereich eher zu teuer, wer sich jedoch trotzdem eins leisten möchte, hat definitiv ein super Kochmesser fürs Leben (Hierbei würde ich aber eher das Kochmesser ohne Kuhlenschliff empfehlen, der Schliff ist nach meiner Erfahrung eher ein optischer Aspekt).
