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. **Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?** A: 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. **Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?** A: 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. **Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?** A: 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. **Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?** A: 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***E on March 28, 2025* goodo ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***N on November 15, 2022* Had to replace my old knife, and this one is doing the trick.

PERO NO SE LO PRESTEN A ALGUIEN QUE NO SABE DE CUCHILLOS. . . este cuchillo es solo para cortar VERDURAS, CARNE , FRUTAS. ~NO HUESOS~ Yo se lo dije a la persona que lo agarro cuando yo no estaba , lo que pasó después es trajico. :,(,,,,,,, . : Un día yo no estaba en casa , Alguien estaba cortando huesos y miró mi cuchillo que acababa de comprar , acto seguido agarro y lo empezó a usar de Machete para cortar los huesos wtf . lo que pasó ya te lo puedes imaginar si sabes de cuchillería se desquebrajo toda la parte de acero VG10(ya no sirve) . este cuchillo tiene una dureza muy alta por lo que no es nada flexible y eso es bueno para lo que fue hecho este cuchillo. pero porfavor dejen de usar las cosas para trabajos para los cuales no fueron DISEÑADOS , si alguien sabe sobre cuchillería porfavor agale casi. . . Pros: -muy bonito -se mira muy bien el San Mai -corta muy bien -facil de afilar -ofrese mucho , cobra poco -(calidad-precio) -exelente calidad de construcción -es cómodo . Contras: . no ningun contra. pd: a las personas que se les rompe es por qué no lo saben usar , yo lo use por el suficiente tiempo como para poder dar una reseña sincera.
