## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by C***R on December 24, 2024*

Never disappointed with Japanese knife!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 期待以上です
*by Q***郎 on November 12, 2024*

重さ感、握り感、力のかけやすさ、肝心の切れ味、外観から使用感にいたる全てに高品質と強さを感じます。指の爪先で刃を弾いたときの音は、これまで愛用してきた単層材の関孫六はずっしり重い響きがしますが、上位モデルの旬は積層材鍛造ならではのキンとした高い響きがします。いかにも強度が高そうです。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 洗いやすい
*by T***O on August 15, 2022*

2000円の包丁しか使ったことありませんでしたが、高級包丁素晴らしい…。手のフィット感はいいです。重さと切れ味のせいでするっと食材を捌けます。邪魔な凹凸を排除しているため使用後の洗いが非常に楽です。模様も綺麗で使用後無駄に模様を眺めていたりします。
