Review: Superb Quality Knives That Stand the Test of Time: Sharp, Durable, and Beautiful - I purchased this knife set in December 2021 after doing extensive research, as I wanted a set that would cover all my needs without having to buy another. The quality is exceptional. The knives arrived razor-sharp right out of the box, and both the build and appearance are stunning. Even after years of use, their sharpness holds up incredibly well. As of October 2024, I'm writing this review after finally deciding to sharpen them for the first time, not because they had dulled, but as part of a new hobby. They were still sharp enough to pass the paper cutting test before sharpening, which speaks volumes about their longevity. The only additional knife I bought was a bread knife after a few months. The only other one I'm considering is a petty/utility knife, but purely out of interest in expanding my collection, not out of necessity. This set truly has everything you need, and with minimal care, it will last a lifetime. Yes, it's pricey, but you absolutely get what you pay for. These will likely be the best quality knives you've ever used. You won't be disappointed.
Review: Best knives in my book! - Why did you pick this product vs others?: These were on a registry for a very important wedding of ours. We were so happy that they chose these knives. We have given them to many people and everybody has loved them. We have them in our home in Seattle as well as Cabo and on our boat. They are the best. They have a great warranty. They sharpen them for you. You have to be very careful though because they are super sharp. They will last a lifetime! Great for yourself or a wonderful gift! So if you are getting ready to register, choose these.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SUPERIOR PROFESSIONAL KNIVES
*by A***E on February 3, 2024*

My adult son, a professional Chef was beyond thrilled with this Xmas gift. The quality of the knives is superior, incredibly sharp. They are weighted perfectly for ease in use. The Knife Block is attractive yet slim and unobtrusive. I did have to order the Serrated Bread Knife separately (not included) but, fortunately the knife block included a couple of free slots!
