Detail
Summary
Designed specifically to sharpen and hone Shun cutlery, this three-piece sharpening set includes a honing steel, a two-sided whetstone and a bamboo stand to ensure your Shun blade is at the perfect angle for sharpening.
- Use the honing steel for weekly maintenance; use the whetstone to restore the blade's edge when sharpening becomes necessary.
- Dual-sided ceramic whetstone has a different coarseness on each side: 1000 grit and 6000 grit.
- The 1000-grit side is perfect for duller blades and setting the edge.
- The 6000-grit is very fine for refreshing or finishing a razor-sharp edge.
- The stabilizing bamboo base maintains the perfect blade position for sharpening Shun’s 16-degree blade angle.
- The honing steel’s rod is forged from corrosion-resistant high-carbon steel.
- The durable, ergonomically shaped PakkaWood handle on the honing steel resists moisture and provides a comfortable grip.
- Designed by Shun, a Japanese company that has produced fine cutlery for more than 90 years.
Set includes:
- Dual-sided ceramic whetstone.
- Bamboo stand for whetstone.
- Honing Steel.
Dimensions & More Info
- 14" x 3 3/4" x 5 1/4".

Use & Care
Use
- Use with straight-edged knives only; not for use with serrated blades.

- Line up the knife with the guide and make a few light strokes on each side of the blade.
- Depending on how often you use your knives, you may wish to hone once a week.

Care

- Clean whetstone under running water and allow to air dry.

A perfect gift to an owner of hand-made Japanese knives

My daughter owns hand-made high-carbon Japanese knives and appreciates them. I bought this sharpening system for her birthday. She is very happy with this gift.

awesome tool

I had my shun knives for about 4 years and they never got resharpened. I thought that I need to grind them on the wetstone but I just honed them. Now my knifes cut through tomatoes again like at the very first cut. I´m really impressed. Didn´t expect that only honing gets the knifes back to life. Those knifes are really good quality.

Fantastic tool for keeping things sharp.

This stone works REALLY well, love it! And for people like me who were always mystified by how to use a whetstone effectively, the angled base is so simple an idea and makes it easy. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars was there was no option to purchase without the honing tool, which most of us would already have with most of the sets out there. Don't need the extra item in my small kitchen!

Very useful

I like this complete unit. The honing steel at the proper angle is a treat. The two-sided stone does a decent job, indeed, for most people. I suggest to the manufacturer that scupper holes in the wood at the bottom of the stone might be useful. The unit needs some non-skid surface or mat. It moves about otherwise.

A necessary tool

I lived in Seattle for a long time and a wonderful knife company was available to have my Shun knives sharpened. Now that we moved to a beach town in Florida I haven't found a company to sharpen these special knives. I am so glad to run across this knife sharpening system.... the honing device has cleaned my knives up beautifully and I have yet to use the whetstone and am looking forward to what that result will bring me. The ceramic hone which I owned before doesn't work for my Shun knives, so off it goes.

3 Pc Whetstone Sharpening System

Simple and effective. I like it. The stand should be redesigned so that the top surface of the whetstone is higher than the ends of the stand.

Sharpening system

The stone doesn't fit the wooden base. After a few phone calls I was allowed to send it back for a replacement. No replacement, just a refund without asking me if that was what I wanted. I really want this product but I don't feel like begging for it.
