With each use of your knife, the razor-sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit. The edge is still sharp, but the sharpest part isn't making contact with the food. The remedy is honing with the Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel. The Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel gently realigns the edge of your blade. It offers two honing surfaces: a smooth one for weekly honing, and a micro-ribbed one for monthly honing. By honing your edge regularly, you can go longer between actual sharpenings.
While fine European knives can require honing after each use, Shun's harder steel means you can hone less often, depending on your level of use, of course. The Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel has an angle guide built into the handle, so you can easily hone your knives at the correct 16° Shun angle. The natural matte wood finish of the honing steel's handle provides a secure grip and looks beautiful with Shun Premier knives.
Beyond their exceptional performance, the Shun Premier knives make a statement in the kitchen with their unique combination of artistry and practicality. The stunning, hammered finish of the blades not only provides functional benefits but also adds an element of elegance to any kitchen collection. Whether you're a professional chef or an enthusiastic home cook, the Shun Premier Knife Series is sure to elevate your cooking experience, offering a perfect balance of beauty, sharpness, and durability.

Hand Wash Only: To preserve the integrity of the blade and handle, always wash your Shun Premier knives by hand. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can damage the blade and handle.
Avoid Cutting Hard Surfaces: To keep the edge of your knife sharp, avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass, granite, or metal. Instead, use a wooden or plastic cutting board, as these surfaces are gentler on the blade and help maintain its sharpness.
