## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional Use tested and approved
*by S***Y on August 12, 2025*

Excellent knife, razor sharp out of the box. I use it 10 hours a week prepping vegetables in a busy restaurant and its been nothing short of amazing. Durable, doesn't stain and have only needed to sharpen it once in almost a year. Absolutely do recommend for home or professional use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did not think I needed a dedicated vegetable knife until I bought this.
*by R***K on July 8, 2018*

I previously had a Shun Premier 7" Santoku and a 4" pairing knife and it appeared that some sellers were clearing out some of their Shun Premier line so I expanded. This particular knife I went back and forth on whether I should get it or not. I'm a fairly serious carnivore so the concept of having a dedicated vegetable knife was an uncertainty, especially considering that my Santoku has a nearly flat blade. I decided to bite the bullet when a very low price came by and I am glad I did. This thing is completely worth it because it completely cuts vegetables with one slice rather than leaving a strand hanging if I don't to a very exaggerated forward motion at the end to get a non-flat blade to go through. Shun of course makes very sharp knifes and looks great. I doubt they are the pinnacle of knives, but they work great for me. I have them professionally sharpened once a year regardless of how well I think they are holding up. You can do the one handed tomato slice with this knife when it's sharp.
