Review: The Professional's Choice - Having read a couple of less than stellar reviews on Shun knives, I am writing to say that I do not understand any of those comments. I am a professional in the restaurant business and I have used my Classic 10 inch chef and 8 inch Premier Shun knives for a couple of years. Being so impressed with both knives, I just recently bought this 7 inch Santoku and used it for the past two nights in the restaurant for prep. A few of my colleagues on the line in the restaurant also use Shun knives. I also own four Global and several Henckels from when I began in the business.They are all fine products and their edges will all break or chip if abused. All knives dull with use and need to be re-edged. But like any finely built tool, each knife has its own personality based on design, weight, and quality of steel.I, along with other professionals I regularly talk with, consider Shun to be the current "gold standard" in cutlery. I truly enjoy using all of the brands I that I own and have mentioned, but Shun knives do stand out - IMO. Why? (1) Insane sharpness and retention of original manufacture's edge angle. BTW -It is worth it to purchase the Shun honing steel as it guides the knife with the correct angle. Used properly a Shun knife when dull is better than other standard kitchen knives right back from the sharpener. (2) Heft and hand-feel. Your hands move when chopping and balanced movement is key to precise work as well as safety. I do not own another knife that feels as good in my hands as do my Shun knives. Add to this the well-researched shape of their handle and my hand does not tire nearly as quickly using a Shun. (3) Beauty. Why not own a functional tool that surpasses the day to day demands of a professional kitchen AND looks like a piece of art? Functional art. Look, there are many great knives out there. Buying (and using) a Shun is a life-time purchase. Assuming you do not abuse it, the Shun knife will last and serve you well for a very long time. Whether a conversation piece with guests as you prep dinner or in a professional kitchen setting these knives impress.

## 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.
