Review: Unbelievable Craftsmanship - First off, it's beautiful. The knife I received is flawless. Perfect fit and finish. The edge is one of the sharpest I've ever experienced and I collect knives. From Spyderco, Benchmade, Cold Steel, Custom pieces etc. It's really lightweight and feels great in the hand and cuts extremely well. Always hone before and after every use, and you'll hardly ever have to sharpen it, and if you're bad at it just send it in for a free sharpening. From one knife person to another you won't be disappointed.
Review: Life on the Razors Edge..... - This knife arrived faster than I thought it would (3 days, free standard shipping) and is a very beautiful, well made knife. I really like the brightness of the hand hammered blade finish and the dark wood grain of the handle. The weight and balance of this knife is excellent for me and I really like the way the belly of the handle makes this knife feel like an extension of your hand. This is my new favorite kitchen knife. This knife has got to be the sharpest knife I have ever had the pleasure of using. It is unreal how easily it glides thru just about everything I have used it on so far. It does not crush anything when you use a back and forth locomotive style of cutting (as recommended by Shun). I even cut a watermelon with it and it just glided along as I turned the melon, just as easy as you please. You can shave raw chicken for fajitas paper thin with ease (the meat sticks to the knife some when cutting this thin, but what did you expect?) also, it has cut my veggie prep time down considerably and is an absolute joy to use. I use this knife for just about everything now and I find it's no bother at all to hand wash this knife. Cooking is much easier and so much more enjoyable when you have high quality tools. You need this knife, as you can tell I am very happy with mine.

## 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.
