Shun

“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection.

Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see.

Handcrafted in Japan

Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Knife Steel is Essential

Heat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process.

Quality and Performance

Shun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time.

Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.

Shun Classic

Shun Classics are the original Shuns, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty, Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle.

With Shun Classic, you'll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes - so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.

Pakkawood Handle

These traditional Japanese-style handles have a slight ridge on the right side, which fits into the curl of the fingers for a comfortable and secure grip. Viewed end-on, the shape resembles the capital letter "D". Pakkawood is waterproof, incredibly durable, and won't harbor bacteria.

Shun is Different

If you've never owned a Japanese knife before, you'll immediately notice how different a Shun feels in the hand. Shun is harder, lighter, and sharper. Sharpened to a steeper angle (16 degrees) with an edge that will hold longer, the Classic line is designed to cut in a smooth, slicing motion.

Layered Steel

Shun proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is a high-end "super steel" that is extremely hard, enabling Shun Classic knives to take an incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus Cladding is made of 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, for a total of 69 layers. Classic's cladding supports the cutting core, adds stain and corrosion resistance, and looks elegant.

Shun and Sharpening

Shun brand products sold by Kai USA Ltd. are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

User questions & answers

Question:	Country of origin japan, but not manufactured in japan as i found with the kai dh3005 scissors made in china but shipped from japan? anyone know
Answer:	Have to admit I haven't used my sharpener yet. The instructions say, "pull knife through #2 (ceramic) slot from heel to tip, again keeping the blade straight Do this 3 times." So I am assuming like ||.
Question:	Will this can sharp sg2 knives
Answer:	Per the directions (as interpreted with the aid of the official instruciton video), pull through the slots, starting with #1 and ending with #3, from heel to the very tip. Do slot #1 twice, #2 three times and #3 three times. If not sharp enough, repeat, but start with slot #2.
Question:	Is this sharpener made in Japan
Answer:	Each time I use it the small nicks get smaller.
Question:	How many strokes through each slot
Answer:	It might be, but I wouldn't use it unless they were already sharpened at that angle. It does a GREAT job on my Shun knives and makes sharpening very quick with just a few strokes.

Answer:	Yes. This product is made in Japan.
Question:	Will this knife sharpener be ok to use for the shun kai dm-0513 serrated 5" utility knife and the kai dm-0505 9" multi-purpose serrated slicer

Product description

Always sharp like new. An electric grinder that can grind without hassle. A design that can be sharply cut and finished into a highly durable shape that could not be achieved with a normal whetstone or grindstone. It is a discerning design that allows you to take fine "burrs" with three stages of sharpening. What I wanted to achieve was a smooth, sharp finish that was like a craftsman sharpening with a lathe grinder. The sharpener tilts the disc-shaped grindstone so that it hits the optimum angle for the kitchen knife, so that the angle of grinding and the grain of polishing that the craftsman hits the grindstone, which cannot be achieved with a grindstone or a grindstone just by pulling, can be obtained. It has been realized and enables the sharpness as good as new. * Cannot be used for single-edged knives, bread knives, frozen knives, and knives other than knives. Frontage x Depth x Height (mm): 108 x 108 x 110

Question:	Does this sharpener use water
Answer:	Should be ok, it's made by them for their serrated blades. I use it on my serrated bread knife without any issues.
Question:	Can you use this on ceramic knives
Answer:	Knife made in Japan
Question:	Is this sharpener easy to use? I have 10 Shun knives all in different sizes - would this sharpen all sizes

User questions & answers

Question:

Can someone tell me the exact angle of sharpening and whether it will fit a shun sharpener

Answer:

No! Do NOT use oil with this type of stone! You will ruin it. They are designed to be used with water. Just, soak the stone, for a few minutes, in clean water and then add a sprinkle of water every few strokes as you are sharpening to wash the swarf from the surface of the stone. I noticed the sharpening oil advertised with this, and it is misleading. I use these stones with my hand planes and chisels, etc for woodworking and you cannot get a better edge than with a water stone. You can quite literally get a mirror finish if you go to 6000 grit or finer. The only drawback is the stones need to be flattened occasionally.
