Shun Premier 9" Combination Honing Steel

If you have a need for sharpened knives or your cutlery require continuous sharpening, this is the item for you.... Elegant well balanced perfect weight and very well built. Don't waste your time on the market when this is perfect!

This honing steel is absolutely perfect, as all Shun products are. I’d like to highlight the seller though. Initially, there was a minor issue with the engraving, but they immediately fixed it and had a new one in my mailbox before I even realized they responded to my email. Best customer service I’ve experienced in years. They’ve created a very loyal customer in me. Thank you!!!

I have a Shun Premier Chef's Knife with a scary sharp 16% edge. I had this same knife years ago and used a regular honing steel on it, and it was always guess work to try an keep that factory edge. I don't care how good you are, nobody's achieving a perfect 16% edge without an angle guide. This let's me hone my expensive blade with confidence. Very happy I bought it.

We are slowly replacing our older knives with Shun knives, so I wanted the sharpening steel as well. I'm very pleased with this steel. Our older steel was much heavier than this one, and some of the comments about this being a little on the thin side are accurate. This does not feel nearly as solid in the hand as some of the other steals I've used. In fact, it's very light and graceful, just like the line of knives we've been buying. It matches our Shun knives, and it's a great quality product.

The accessory your Shun knives want! Whether you are a serious, seasoned home chef or an aspiring amateur cook, your knives are your life…& without a proper sharpening tool, you simply cannot prepare a first-rate meal. Shun has been my go-to forever, & I own two of these tools; easy, efficient, effective, durable, reliable, & even stylish too!

*Mine WAS Authentic* After receiving the honing rod, I too noticed the wood wasn’t as nice/glossy as my other Shun Premiers. No engraving on bottom, and overall build quality seemed to be lacking. I then read reviews questioning authenticity. I returned it, and ordered it on William Sonoma. It’s the EXACT SAME. Same box, same quality, no papers in box either. Buy from Amazon with confidence. I just wasted a couple weeks of my life. 4 stars because the quality differs from Shun Premier knives. Maybe the honing rods are made elsewhere???

Perfect honing steel to go with all of our Shun knives! Great company to deal with. Arrived quickly snd as described! Thank you!

The product I received is a counterfeit : the handle wood does not match the rest of the Premier line, the is no Shun logo and the box clearly says 'Made in China' instead of 'Handcrafted in Japan'.
