Review: Made in China. - Nice one. But made in China 🤔🤣
Review: Great solid honing steel. I've been using this for 5 years now and it's in excellent shape still. No rusts and still works. Unlike some of my Shun knives that have rusted over the years (not sure if it's user error or just a bad set, but a few of my expensive Shun knives are a bit rusted). Anyways back to the honing steel: get it if you want a high qualify honing steel that may out live you.

## 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.

Lo compré para mi esposo, para que afilara su cuchillo Shun. Funciona bastante bien pues no desgasta el acero, solo lo afila enderezándolo. El no sabía utilizar un afilador de este estilo pero viene con un instructivo bastante claro y ahora lo utiliza con todos los cuchillos de la casa.
