With each use of a kitchen knife, from paring and petty to carving and cleaver, the razor-sharp blade sustains a natural, very slight bend. While the blade edge remains sharp, the sharpest edge is not necessarily making contact with the food. In order to gently realign the blade's edge, use the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel about once a week. This stainless steel rod, measuring 9 inches in length, is crafted with Shun's superior precision and relentless attention to detail. Equipped with both smooth and micro-ribbed surfaces, this tool provides essential, specialized blade care, thereby prolonging the knife's sharpness. A built-in angle guide ensures even more precise honing by guiding the user to the correct 16ï‚° Shun angle. The premium PakkaWood handle enables a secure grip and the most controlled use, while the ebony finish adds to the classy look of a piece that belongs in every kitchen proudly boasting Shun Classic Cutlery.
