CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Shun Sora Combination Honing Steel 9" is an essential tool for anyone serious about maintaining the performance of their fine cutlery. Built with durable, stain-resistant steel, this honing steel is designed to prolong the life of your blades by keeping their edges properly aligned. Unlike sharpening, which removes metal, honing gently realigns the edge, ensuring your knives stay razor-sharp and ready for precise cutting.
What sets this honing steel apart is its dual-surface design. The smooth side is ideal for everyday use, providing gentle honing that helps preserve your knife’s edge. On the other side, a micro-ribbed surface delivers a slightly more aggressive hone, perfect for weekly use or when your knife requires a little extra attention. This thoughtful combination allows you to customize your honing routine, ensuring your blades are always performing at their best.
The 9-inch steel rod provides ample length to handle a wide range of knives, from small paring knives to full-sized chef’s knives. A patented 16° hand guard is integrated into the design, making it easy to maintain the exact angle Shun blades are crafted for. This ensures you’re honing with precision every time, without guesswork or inconsistent results. By simply placing the tip of the steel on a sturdy surface, aligning the blade at the guard, and drawing it smoothly from heel to tip, you can keep your knives in peak condition with just a few passes.
The handle is constructed from a textured PP/TPE blend, offering a secure and comfortable grip even during extended use. At 13.6 inches overall and weighing 9.2 ounces, the honing steel is well-balanced and easy to maneuver, making it a practical addition to any kitchen. It’s a simple, effective tool designed to complement the quality of your Shun knives and extend their cutting life with regular use.
For chefs, home cooks, and knife enthusiasts alike, the Shun Sora Combination Honing Steel provides the durability, precision, and ease of use that high-performance blades deserve. Reliable and built to last, it ensures your cutlery is always ready for the task at hand.
