Customer Questions & Answers

  • Question: What materials are used in the Shun Classic 5 1/2 Santoku Knife?

    Answer: The Shun Classic 5 1/2 Santoku Knife features a VG-MAX steel core, which is renowned for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. This core is clad with 16 layers of stainless steel on each side, offering a beautiful Damascus finish while enhancing resistance to rust and corrosion.

  • Question: What is the purpose of the granton edge on the Shun Classic Santoku Knife?

    Answer: The granton edge, characterized by its series of small indentations along the blade, enables food to release easily from the knife. This design is particularly beneficial when slicing sticky ingredients like potatoes or cheese, as it reduces friction and helps prevent sticking. Additionally, the granton edge contributes to cleaner cuts and enhances overall efficiency in the kitchen. Chefs who frequently work with vegetables or want to achieve uniform slices often prefer this design, as it allows smoother handling and improved presentation of their dish.
  • Question: How do I properly care for my Shun Classic 5 1/2 Santoku Knife?

    Answer: Caring for your Shun Classic 5 1/2 Santoku Knife involves regular honing and appropriate cleaning techniques. Use a honing steel before each use to maintain the sharp edge. It’s best to hand wash the knife with mild soap and warm water, avoiding the dishwasher as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade.
