Review: Love the handles, perfect addition to set - First off, I'm a fan of Shun. I have 4 others with the same D shaped handle (right hand specific) and it was a huge influence in buying this set. The metal is VG-10 which I've also been using for my work knife for the last 6 years. Holds it's edge very well but may take a little work to sharpen if you let it get dull. The western chef is fantastic. Well balanced in the hand no matter what grip you use. The utility knife is good, but would like the handle to be slightly larger. It's properly balanced, but handle feels small/narrow in my hand. Totally acceptable for what I use it for though. Paring knife is great. My only complaint with it is I wish the handle was shaped for a left handed person as when I use a paring knife I hold the sharpened edge towards my body and the handle D shape is oriented to my fingers instead of the palm of my hand. Even with that said, it's still great. Everything is super sharp out of the box, and at the price I paid, it's a borderline unbeatable deal. I basically got the utility knife for free and half off the paring knife just for buying the chef.
Review: Shun knives - The knives are excellent, don’t need any other knives for my set. Very functional and sharp.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shun knives

The knives are excellent, don’t need any other knives for my set. Very functional and sharp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful to use. They make cooking more fun
*by N***A on February 19, 2015*

My wife gave me these as a gift. I have always used (high quality) German knives and these are a different bred for sure. They are scary sharp and keep a remarkable edge. Consider getting the shun honing steel as well - just a few swipes and you are razor sharp again. The handle feel is different enough that it has taken time for me to get used to. Its very rounded and not boxy like the German knives I'm used to. The 8" chef's knife is a little bigger than I might have purchased if I had a choice, but I've quickly adapted to it and quite like it now. It has almost replaced all my previous uses for my messermeister Chinese clever - which I still love. The utility knife is a unique size and I think I use that most of all.
