Sharpening
Important Note: Shun is no longer providing sharpening services.

To sharpen your knives yourself, you can purchase an electric sharpener. While there are a number of sharpeners on the market, the only sharpener that we can recommend for Shun knives is the Shun electric sharpener. This sharpener matches the 16-degree angle of our cutlery. Remember, however, that sharpening is NOT something that should be done on a weekly or even monthly basis. Sharpening does remove some of the metal of the blade so sharpening too often may reduce the life of the blade.

A sharpening steel is great for maintaining the knife's edge. Shun knives rarely need actual sharpening. If it does, this can be done using a whetstone, such as the Shun Combination Whetstone.
