Questions & Answers

Can you explain the difference between the Shun chefs knife and the Asian chefs knife?

Currently, a Shun knife is an Asian chefs knife made of layered Damascus steel, the same steel used to make samurai swords. It is extremely sharp and maintains an edge well, and is made by a Japanese company, Koto. Damascus steel may or may not be used in other Asian knives.

These knives are authentic Shun knives, right?

In fact, yes. There are shuns that aren't 100%, is that true? It is a great pair of Both knives can be found on the Shun website.

What is the NSF certification on these knives?

I consider this to be one of the best knives made in Japan, way superior to NSF

How long are the covers? Do the guards come with them?

There is a cardboard cover that comes with them, but it is not possible to re-use it

Over the years, I have had a number of high-end Here's what you need to know
5/5

This knife set is top of the line and a piece of art. Both knives are sharp and a well-known brand. It's a great combo to have a veggie knife alongside a regular utility knife. Their size allows both of them to be easily handled. You should take care of your hands if they are small. Take a break from the nameless and random brands and get these instead. This knife has the best warranty, and when you take it out, you feel good because it is great looking and sharp.

Knives of the highest quality
5/5

My favorite Shun knife is the Shadow, the blades are sharp, lightweight, and the company behind it is excellent. I picked these up to finish off my collection and they match my other knives perfectly. Chef knives at a smaller size are really great for precision cutting, and my husband prefers them. Even though it is smaller, the Nakiri knife has a lot of weight to it it is very good for veggies!.

The truth is that it's not the whole truth
3/5

I have owned a set of these blades previously and never had an issue. In no time at all, these started going dual and didn't really slice through vegetables any longer. Now I want someone to do it for me for more money now I want someone to sharpen them for me.

Despite their speedy arrival, the knives were of excellent quality, and arrived in perfect condition
5/5

That's so impressive. In my experience, Shun knives are among the easiest knives to use. When I gave my wife the Nakiri knife, she was surprised at how easily her potatoes were cut. On top of that, they arrived on schedule and in perfect condition.

I like these knives very much. For me, these were the first decent kitchen knives I had ever owned. I was blown away by what they have done for me. My family uses them every day and I am very satisfied with the product. I will be buying more in the future.

A quality product
5/5

Until I received these sharpened knives, I had no idea what they were. The way they slide through the cut makes it so much easier than when dealing with food like meat or fruit or vegetables. It is crucial to follow the instructions and to wash and dry it after use for a long lasting product.
