Shun Classic 9-inch Combination Honing Steel

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.

    Care and Use

    Hold the knife against the rod at the built-in 16° angle guide and draw the edge along the rod, alternating sides with light pressure. Shun recommends the smooth surface for regular honing and the micro-ribbed surface for less frequent, more aggressive realignment. Wipe the rod clean after use.
