Review: Great knife - I am a chef and have used this knife everyday for almost two years. It’s light, agile, holds the edge well, and it’s comfortable to hold. Very good for the price. Mostly used to cut fruits, vegs, and some meats. I don’t use it to break down proteins in fear of chipping the thin blade.
Review: Priceless Quality - My first impression of this knife was how beautiful it is. I’ve never owned such a knife. I’m not a chef. So really I couldn’t justify paying the price. Again and again though I kept looking at it here on desertcart. Then also I love to cook but I hate to chop. My fingers played the guitar when I was young so knives and I don’t get along. This knife brings out my concentration. It so sharp it demands I focus more on what I am doing rather than doing what I don’t enjoy. Chopping has changed for me!! After just a few times using this knife? I look forward to what once was sheer tedium. Whoever you are who made this Shun knife I am grateful for this piece of Art. I know how time, care, design, thought, trial and error led to this perfection that covers fully my practical needs as well. Thank you Shun knives. I bought several knives here on desertcart and all the while I was looking for your company for just what I could not afford not to try. The errors cost me dollar for dollar by that temptation to pay less and hope what you buy is more. Just ain’t so. In this case I got a lot more than I paid for by buying your knife. Thank you desertcart. Thank you Shun.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: 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.

**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.
