Summary: Shun Quality!!!
Comment: Shun. What more needs to be said??? It is simple, Shun is the best all around. Will you pay more? Sure you will but you will never have to buy a replacement in your lifetime. Shun knives are the best in the world, no question.

Summary: Wrong steel for your polished Shuns
Comment: This rod is a grooved steel which will eventually turn your mirror like polish on your shun cutting edge into a micro-toothed mess after about 10 hones. I returned 2 shun classic knives thinking that the edges were defective on the knives. Turns out, it was the honing steel that was creating the problem. Buy a very fine ceramic rod to keep the edge on your mirror polished Shun classic blade in optimal condition. The Shun rod knocked the performance of my knife back a few grades, but the ceramic rod fixed all the wrongs. Remember to hone @ a 16 degree angle. Cheeers!!!!

Summary: Ok, but not quite what I expected
Comment: I purchased a Shun santoku knife and thought I'd need a honing steel as well.

I picked the Shun because they note that the handle is aligned with the blade's angle.

But it's only angled on one side. So honing both sides of the knife requires switching both hands and turning the stone as well.

Given that Shun thought to add the feature, it should really have implemented it a bit better.

Summary: Works Like It Should
Comment: I recently purchased some Shun Elite knives. They cut like a light saber right out of the box but after a couple of months they dulled slightly. The Shun honing steel brought them right back to life. I really like the guide on the steel. It ensures you get the correct angle for Shun knives.


Editorial Reviews:

Although your Shun Classic knives retain their edge longer than most knives, you can rest assured that having this 9-in. Steel handy for occasional honing will improve the lifetime of the precision blades. Stores conveniently in most cutlery blocks.
