Shun Classic 9" Combination Honing Steel SDM0790

The Shun Classic 9" Combination Honing Steel is an essential tool for maintaining the precision and performance of your Shun cutlery. Designed for both professional chefs and serious home cooks, this honing steel allows you to keep your knives razor-sharp between full sharpenings, extending the life and effectiveness of each blade. Its versatile design works with a wide variety of knives, accommodating both large and small cutlery effortlessly.

Crafted for ease of use, the honing steel features a built-in angled handle that guides you to maintain the correct 16° Shun blade angle. This ensures consistent, professional results every time you hone your knives, making it simple to preserve the fine edge that Shun blades are known for. Unlike softer European-style knives, which require frequent honing, Shun’s harder steel allows you to hone about once a week depending on use, keeping your kitchen prep smooth and efficient without overworking your knives.

The 9-inch length provides ample surface for honing a wide range of cutlery, from paring knives to large chef’s knives, while the premium pakkawood handle offers a secure, comfortable grip during use. Its classic, elegant finish matches the Shun Classic line, making it a visually cohesive and functional addition to your knife collection. The combination honing steel’s durable construction ensures it can withstand repeated use without compromising performance, delivering reliable, precise results every time.

Using the Shun Classic 9" Combination Honing Steel is straightforward: simply run each blade along the rod at the proper angle, guided by the ergonomic handle. The honing steel gently realigns the cutting edges, correcting minor bends or distortions from everyday use. This maintains the knife’s cutting power, making prep work safer, more efficient, and far more enjoyable.

Whether you’re maintaining a professional kitchen or a home setup, this honing steel provides the performance and quality you expect from Shun. Its combination of durable steel, precise angle guidance, and elegant pakkawood handle ensures that your Shun knives remain sharp, reliable, and ready for any culinary challenge.
