9" Combination Honing Steel - Shun Reserve
9″ Combination Honing Steel
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR MAINTAINING YOUR SHUN-SHARP RESERVE EDGE
With each use of your knife, the edge naturally bends over just a microscopic bit. The edge is still sharp, but the sharpest part isn’t making contact with the food. The remedy for this is honing. Regular honing realigns the edge so that sharpest part contacts the food, enabling you to go longer between sharpenings. While fine European knives can require honing after each use, Shun’s harder steel means you can hone just once a week or so, depending on your level of use. The Shun Reserve Sharpening Steel has an angle guide built into the handle, so you can easily hone and sharpen your knives at the correct 16° Shun angle. The beautiful charcoal and crimson PakkaWood handle provides a secure grip and matches the handles of the rest of the Shun Reserve line.
A Balanced Blend of FORM & FUNCTION:
Handcrafted for the discerning culinary knife user, the Shun Reserve line is a masterful blend of graceful beauty and impeccable performance. From the tip of its blade to its handle, nothing has been overlooked in the creation of these extraordinary kitchen tools. Ultra-premium SG2 “micro carbide” steel cutting core offers the highest level of performance with its extremely dense grain structure and purity which enable it to take and hold an exquisitely fine edge with unparalleled durability. Thirty-two layers of nickel-stainless Damascus surround the hard SG2 cutting core, add beauty, and help food release from the blade. The weightier blade provides power for precision cutting. The full-tang construction and riveted handle give each knife a solid, first-class look and feel. Its western-style handle with contoured pommel provides cutting control; rounded and polished finish offers a luxurious feel and comfortable grip. The handle scales feature dark charcoal Pakkawood with crimson striations and an inlaid mosaic Samurai family crest. Shun Reserve offers the strength and perfectly balanced weight that Western-style knife lovers prefer; delivering ultimate performance, as well as being a pure pleasure to use.
