Shun Cutlery Kanso Combination Honing Steel 9, Professional Japanese Honing Steel

The Shun Cutlery 9-inch Kanso Combination Honing Steel is designed to keep your kitchen knife collection in perfect condition. Inspired by the traditions of ancient Japan, this honing steel is crafted by highly skilled artisans to maintain the unparalleled quality and beauty of Shun knives.

Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to preserving this ancient tradition. Each Shun knife is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the blades are of the highest quality.

Knives naturally develop tiny bends through everyday use, which can make them feel dull when the sharpest part of the blade is not making contact with the food. The Shun Kanso Combination Honing Steel features two surfaces – a smooth side for weekly honing and a micro-ribbed side for monthly maintenance – to gently realign the edge of the blade, prolonging the knife's sharpness.

The durable, moisture-resistant Pakkawood handle is beautifully finished to match the Kanso series and includes a built-in angle guide to help you hone your Shun knives at the correct angle. This ensures the perfect honing angle is maintained, allowing you to keep your knife collection in top condition.

Shun leverages modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide professional-quality cutlery to both chefs and home cooks around the world. The Shun Kanso Combination Honing Steel is a testament to their commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative design.

In Japan, the blade is more than just a tool – it's a symbol of tradition and cultural heritage. By maintaining this ancient tradition, Shun Cutlery ensures that the art of knife making lives on, allowing home cooks and professional chefs alike to experience the exceptional quality and performance of their products.
