I have the utility version of this knife that I’ve had about four or five years. It’s finally need a sharpening.
Did you know that Shun offers lifetime sharpening?!? I just set it off to them I paid the return fee came back to me like brand new
This is about their middle class line amazing balance, nice weight super sharp looks sexy-
Even though it’s stainless, there is some carbon in there to hold a nice edge. It’s one of my favorite knives. I’m excited to use the Santoku.

Shun“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection. Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see. |
Handcrafted in JapanShun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world. |
Knife Steel is EssentialHeat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process. |
Quality and PerformanceShun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too. |

Sharp but uncomfortable
The metal from the blade sticks out from the wood handle. Very uncomfortable to hold, my wife doesn't even use it.

I really, really wanted to love it but it's just....okay. First it's not very aesthetically pleasing in real life. I unsheathed it literally thinking "was this used?" Had to look at the item pictures again just to confirm and sure enough...it's supposed to look like that, but the pics definitely make it look nicer. Whatever as long as it cuts well right?....
...and that's where it fell short. It cuts. But its not great. I was expecting this to be sharper than my zwilling pro. But it's not even as-sharp. Not even close. I can't run my fingers down my zwilling blade. On this Shun, I dont think I can break skin.
Huge disappointment. If I could do it over again I wouldn't buy. Not worth the price even on sale.
