Best knives ever. People are

Best knives ever. People are always hesitant about more expensive versions of everyday items, but I am a firm believer of buy it for life. Shun knives are leagues ahead of you casual knife, and you will notice the difference. Hard things to cut such as tomatoes or watermelons, cut like butter and are no match against Shun knives.

The best, most perfect knives

The best, most perfect knives on the market. The edge is brilliant. I take care of mine, and I have never once had to sharpen it. The craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite. These knives are the best money can buy.

The knife is a work of art and is absolutely my utility, go-to knife in my kitchen. I used to mistakenly believe that a kitchen knife was a kitchen knife but boy was I wrong. Top notch product.

Great gift idea
on August 16, 2023
Posted by: STACIE W.
Absolutely love! This is my fifth Shun as I'm slowly building my set because they are pricey. I've also converted my dad and stepdad to these knives because you can't beat the quality. So if you need a great fathers day or bday gift for any of the guys in your life, look no further. They will love this. My husband doesn't even cook but he loves using this knife to slice his watermelons.

Response from Shun CutleryBy KAI Yotpo Admin, August 14, 2023
Hello John,
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments and rating, we do appreciate it! It's always best to do a weekly honing (realignment of the factory edge) on your go-to daily Shun knives. You want to keep your edges realigned as long as possible until it no longer provides the sharpness you prefer. Then, sharpening (removal of metal) is needed. Did you know Shun offers a free sharpening program for the life of your Shun knife? Check out both links below for further information and thank you for being part of the Shun family of made-in-Japan, handcrafted cutlery!

Great Products

Craftsman quality is superb. Well thought out design and it does what it is supposed to do. Pleasure to use. Actually, I look forward to preparing the next meal.
I will probably remove my Shun cutlery when kitchen guests stay for several days. Have had a few guests chip the blades.
Will I stick with Shun? Absolutely!
