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.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.

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: 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.

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.

Summary: Perfect Companion for Shun Ken Onion Knives
Comment: Anyone who has used the Shun Ken Onion knives is well aware of the beauty, balance, and hardness of these tools. Regular sharpening steels do not have any effect on the edges. The Shun steel is the answer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A perfect match
Comment: I'm extremely happy with this steel. Not only is it the best to use with the Shun classic paring and wide santoku I own, it retouches the edges in just a couple of swipes. I could shave after about 2 or 3 passes. Also, with the hilt of the steel acting as an angle guide it makes sharpening that much easier! I would have never known that without Alton Brown's introduction to Shun products that I watched online a while back.
Amazon's prices sealed the deal as well. Great products for a lot less than I expected to pay.
