Shun Premier 12-Inch Combination Honing Steel - Professional Kitchen Knife Sharpener for Chefs & Home Cooks - Perfect for Maintaining Razor-Sharp Edges on Japanese & Western Knives

With each use of your knife, the razor-sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit. The edge is still sharp, but the sharpest part isn't making contact with the food. The remedy is honing with the Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel. The Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel gently realigns the edge of your blade. It offers two honing surfaces: a smooth one for weekly honing, and a micro-ribbed one for monthly honing. By honing your edge regularly, you can go longer between actual sharpenings.

While fine European knives can require honing after each use, Shun's harder steel means you can hone less often, depending on your level of use, of course. The Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel has an angle guide built into the handle, so you can easily hone your knives at the correct 16° Shun angle. The premium walnut Pakkawood handle provides a secure grip and looks beautiful with the rest of your knives.
