Customer Reviews of Shun Sharpening Steel
Customer Rating:  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. Customer Rating:  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!!!! Customer Rating: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Boy that's sharp!!! Comment: A chef recommended this sharpener and I had to try it out. I was amazed. I have sharpened ever knife I own. I can't believe the results. Customer Rating: 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. More 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.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade creates minute air pockets that offer stick resistance, so food releases easier and prep time is reduced--plus it's rust-free. The ebony Pakka wood handle, a highly durable combination of layers of white birch wood and resin, is designed in a ???D??? shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens. 
Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Washer When shopping for a new washer, look for a front loading (horizontal-axis) machine. This machine may cost more to buy but uses about a third of the energy and less water than a top-loading machine. With a front loader, you'll also save more on clothes drying, because they remove more water from your clothes during the spin cycle. Look for the Energy Star label. Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier. Shun Sharpening Steel
