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.

Lo tenía en el punto de mira desde hace tiempo y he aprovechado una ocasión al encontrarlo a un precio muy ventajoso. Me ha llamado la atención el tamaño. Es grande y parece más grande. De hecho la hoja es algo mayor de 20cm. Como comparación, el que está a su izquierda en la foto en un Wüsthof Ikon. Por supuesto el peso, equilibrio, etc de ambos no tienen nada que ver. Son dos mundos absolutamente diferentes Aún no lo he probado pero estoy seguro de que no me va a defraudar. El patrón de damasco es sutil y muy elegante. La madera de Pakka tiene un tacto suave pero diría que sólido y firme en la mano. Y es muy bonita en este tono claro El VG10 aguanta bien el filo y se afila muy bien, no espero menos de éste Muy contento
