Shun knives are made in Seki City, one of Japan's traditional samurai sword making cities, where the tradition of blade making goes back more than 700 years. Although Shun knives are made from the latest, most advanced materials, they still rely on the traditional artistry and skills of Seki City's knifemakers. Following in the tradition of Seki's swordsmiths, each knife is handmade by skilled artists and requires at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete.
All Shun knives include free lifetime sharpening from their US Headquarters in Tualatin, Oregon!
