What makes Shun worth the upgrade?

Handcrafted in Japan with VG-MAX steel and Damascus cladding, Shun knives are ultra-sharp, stay sharper longer, and deliver unmatched precision. 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—heat and detergent can damage the blade and handle. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting.

3. What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?

When you cut, it’s important to use a “locomotive” motion. Move the blade in either a forward or backward direction. By pushing the blade forward as you cut, rather than pushing straight down, the blade does the work.

How often should I sharpen my knife?

When you notice your Shun not cutting as cleanly, first try honing. This can be done weekly to re-align the cutting edge. When honing is no longer effective in bringing the “sharp” back, then it is time for sharpening.

What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?

Say, “Shoon” (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of eating fresh, local, and in-season—when food is at the peak of perfection. At Shun, we work hard to live up to that tradition every day.
