Frequent honing counteracts the natural folding of your steel edge without removing metal. This steel rod features two surfaces: a smooth one for day-to-day honing and a textured one for weekly honing.

The beautifully modern, blonde PakkaWood handle perfectly matches the Shun Classic Blonde line of knives and provides a durable, moisture-resistant grip.

Sturdy, stainless steel construction puts the health of your knives first. It gently realigns the edge of the blade, prolonging your knife’s sharpness.

Smooth honing surfaces gently fold the edge of your culinary knives back into position, while the ribbed surfaces provide more dramatic correction with minimal force.

Functions equally well with carbon and stainless knives, or with any knife shaped for slicing, paring, and utility.

With each use and over time, the edge of a knife slightly bends and, while the edge is still sharp, it is not in a proper position for efficient cutting; Shun Sora Honing Steel properly realigns the blade

Honing is not the same as sharpening; honing realigns the knife to its original, straight edge but doesn’t sharpen; Shun provides free re-sharpening on Shun knives if needed

Whether using on paring knives, utility knives or chef’s knives, the Combination Honing Steel is an ideal tool to ensure Shun kitchen knives are operating at maximum efficiency

Built-in, easy-to-use angle guide on handle makes it simple to hone Shun knives to the correct 16-degree angle

Use the Combination Honing Steel to make sure Shun knives are cutting at peak perfection before preparing for holidays, supper clubs, date nights, parties, brunch, happy hour or family dinners

High-performance precision cutlery requires regular honing to maintain optimum edge sharpness; with each use, the knife’s edge naturally bends over slightly, resulting in a loss of cutting precision

Shun’s Kanso Combination Honing steel gently realigns micro-bends along the blade edge for easier, more efficient slicing, peeling, dicing, cutting, chopping, mincing and precision cuts

Regular honing of knives prolongs blade sharpness and extends time before re-sharpening; due to the hardness of the premium steel Shun uses, blades need less regular honing than European knives

The Shun Kanso Combination Honing Steel has two surfaces: a smoother surface for day-to-day honing and a micro-ribbed surface for weekly maintenance honing

To maintain the precise 16-degree blade angle of all Shun knives, the honing steel has a built-in angle guide on the tagayasan wood handle; tagayasan is known as “iron sword wood” in Japan
