Shun Cutting Boards, Honing Steels & Accessories

Shun’s 9-inch combination honing steel keeps knife edges aligned with two surfaces in one rod, a smooth side for regular honing and a micro-ribbed side for more thorough realignment. A built-in angle guide sets the blade at 16°, so even a cook new to honing holds the correct angle.Its steel-grey handle suits any Shun series, which makes it the honing steel to choose for a mixed collection of Shun knives.
Classic Handle OptionThe Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel has an ebony Pakkawood handle. Learn More

Honing realigns a knife’s edge between sharpenings, and Shun designed this 9-inch combination steel to match the Shun Classic line. The rod has two surfaces, one smooth and one micro-ribbed, and a 16° angle guide built into the handle sets the knife at the angle Shun uses on its edges.The D-shaped ebony Pakkawood handle matches Shun Classic knives and is comfortable in either hand. A few light strokes keep a Shun edge cutting cleanly and extend the time between professional sharpenings.

Fish bone tweezers pull the small pin bones that run along a salmon or trout fillet, a job fingers and pliers do poorly. When you are working through a case of king salmon or prepping delicate trout fillets, ordinary tweezers slip on stubborn bones or tear the tender flesh. Shun’s 5.5-inch tweezers have a broad, flat tip that grips a bone firmly so it slides out without tearing the flesh.Run a fingertip along the fillet to find each bone, then pull it out in the direction it points. The tweezers also remove pinfeathers from poultry. Learn More

The Shun 2-Piece Shear Set pairs Shun’s 9-inch kitchen shears with its 7.5-inch herb shears, two tools for the cutting jobs a knife should not do. The kitchen shears handle poultry, packaging and lobster shells, and the herb shears snip delicate herbs without bruising them.Both have Japanese stainless steel blades that separate for cleaning, and Shun notes they work for right- or left-handed cooks. It is a practical gift for a cook who already owns Shun knives.

The largest Shun Hinoki board measures 20 by 14 inches and adds a juice groove around the edge, which keeps the liquid from a roast or a ripe tomato off the counter. It is the board to choose for carving meat, slicing brisket or prepping a full meal in one place.Because hinoki is a medium-soft cypress, the surface yields under the edge, so it is gentle on the fine edges of Shun knives. At an inch thick, it sits solidly on the counter, and both sides are usable. Shoppers search for this board by name, and it makes a substantial gift for a cook who has invested in good Japanese knives.
Without a GrooveThe Large Hinoki Board is lighter and slightly smaller. Learn More

The medium Shun Hinoki board brings the same knife-friendly surface as the larger boards to a size that fits a small counter or a dorm kitchen. Hinoki is a medium-soft Japanese cypress, so the wood gives slightly under the edge and helps a fine Japanese blade stay sharp.At 15.75 by 10.75 inches and half an inch thick, it is light enough to carry to the sink or the table for serving bread and cheese. Both sides can be used, and the pale wood carries a light, natural fragrance.

Hinoki is a Japanese cypress prized for its beauty and delicate fragrance. Shun uses it for cutting boards because the medium-soft wood yields slightly under a blade. That give protects the fine, hard edges of Japanese knives, which can chip or roll on glass or stone.The large board offers room to break down a chicken or dice a full batch of vegetables, and both sides are usable. The wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainable forest management. It is a natural companion to any Shun knife and a thoughtful gift paired with one.
