Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience. **Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?** A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients. **Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?** A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition. **Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?** A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home. **Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?** A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***H on 8 December 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on 20 May 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 17 January 2020* ## Frequently Bought Together - Shun Premier 8" Chef's Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife for Professional and Home Chefs, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle - Shun Premier 4" Paring Knife - Shun Premier 5 1/2" Nakiri Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/241112036-shun-premier-chefs-knife-8-inch](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/241112036-shun-premier-chefs-knife-8-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
