  • Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best knives in this price range
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015
    Size: 8"Style: ChefPattern Name: KnifeVerified Purchase
    I absolutely love these knives. The profile of the blade is great and they are really sharp right out of the box. I purchased the Santoku, 8" chef, 6" Chef, Utility, Ultimate Utility, bread knife, and pairing knife. Not only are they a great looking set of knives to display in your kitchen, but they truly do take your cooking to another level. Some people complain that the polymer handle feels cheep, but these knives are perfectly priced for what they are. The polymer grip is comfortable and its profiled it such a way that it looks great. These knives truly show the mastery knife making at work at Sora. I also have a some Wusthoff Classics, Messermeister Elites, and a set of the Calphalon Katana. The Classics and Elites I love. The Katanas not so much. These Soras are the best knives in this price range and I love them. My favorite out of all of them has to be the 7" Santoku, but all of the others are great to.

    Some people say they got rust spots on these knives. Well more expensive knives have a good side and a bad side. They are great because you get better blade profiles, with a blade that holds an edge a lot longer and is much easier to sharpen, but the down side is they are prone to rust. You shouldn't just leave these knives laying in a wet sink for days like you can do with cheaper knives. You should do that with any higher end knife because they will all get rust spots. Also I can not stress this enough. Do not put these knives in the dishwasher. When you finish using them. Hand wash them in soap and water. Hand dry them really good and put them back on your knife rack. Also make sure you knife isn't wet from placing wet knives on it. Putting your good knives on a wet knife rack is a good way to get rust spots. These really are great knives that are very easy to take care of with a little respect and a few steps, and these are possibly the best knives in the price range. These or the Messermeister Elites. Though the elites are a little more expensive than these. You will not regret buying these Soras'. Also if you purchase these. Get yourself a nice knife rack to display them. The beautifully crafted knives look way to go to be thrown in a knife block or drawer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great entry level "real" knife...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020
    Size: 6"Style: ChefPattern Name: KnifeVerified Purchase
    Got the 6" Sora

    I make most of my food at home and have worked in a restaurant kitchen briefly so I know what a difference a good, sharp knife can make. Finally bit the bullet and got a "real" knife, knowing they're around $100. I was concerned about the plastic handle at first, but apparently a lot of the higher end knives have synthetic handles because they're more antimicrobial (and there for sanitary) and generally easier to care for. I noticed after I got this I could have gotten the Kanso utility for about $10 with a wood handle, so consider that. Obviously it sucks that some people have had the tip break off their knife, but part of that is because the blade of this knife is made out of very hard steel- hard steel makes for a great cutting edge but is less flexible and more brittle. The non-cutting edge is wrapped in a softer steel, which is cheaper and softer, but more durable. Glass is a very "hard" material which is why it's so sharp but so brittle.

    I keep getting watermelons and it's so easy to just cut the entire rind of, cuts through brussels sprouts like nothing too. I'm not really sure how Shun's "free sharpening" policy works, but if that's a thing I can do this might be my brand- I've heard shun mentioned a few times but when I was doing research Babbish (aka Andrew Rea) suggested it for an affordable entry level knife, so I was sold. I have small hands and I'm working in a small space, so the 6" one is plenty big enough for me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing knife - a lot of care required, but well worth it!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016
    Size: 8"Style: ChefPattern Name: KnifeVerified Purchase
    Also recommend purchasing a Messermeister 8" knife sheath. I DO NOT recommend using a knife magnet with any high end knife!

    Purchased this with an Amazon gift card wedding present. We are actually vegan, so no notes about cutting meats... but we use this for a LOT of vegetables, some can be very challenging to cut. Works great for tough items like kale, onions, and harder veggies like carrots.

    The blade stays sharp with minimal honing. Purchase a Shun honing steel for this.

    Recommend a Shun knife care kit at some point or taking this to a professional for sharpening regularly. Most folks suggest professional sharpening a year or two with regular use. If you are honing regularly, you won't need to sharpen as often. Otherwise you can use the Shun kit if you are comfortable sharpening knives yourself. DO NOT use and electric sharpner!

    Always make sure to clean and wipe dry every time! If you don't dry the knife completely, it WILL chip. My friend learned this the hard way with his Shun knives.

    Highly recommended!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice knife except for the handle
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020
    Size: 8"Style: ChefPattern Name: KnifeVerified Purchase
    I have always wanted a Shun knife. I've had a Wurstoff 6 inch for quite a few years now. While 6 inch gives good maneuverability for my small frame, sometimes you do want your knife to be just a bit longer to help cut through bigger pieces.

    I guess Sora is the budget tier of Shun knives. The handle is made out of plastic. However, it still feels good to the hand. Knife is very sharp so cutting is a breeze. They recommend straightening the edge with a steel rod every so often. Shun also offers free sharpening for life so you can mail it to them and they will sharpen for you. I am glad I got on this deal.
