As you use your knife, the razor-sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit as the edge contacts the cutting board. Eventually, this means the sharp edge is no longer making direct contact with the food. The knife feels dull. The Shun Combination Honing Steel is the solution. It gently realigns the edge of your blade, bringing the “sharp” back. It offers two honing surfaces: a smooth one for weekly honing and a micro-ribbed one for monthly honing—depending on your usage, of course. A built-in angle guide makes it easy to hone your Shuns with ease and precision. The steel-grey handle looks beautiful with the rest of your knives.

After a chef's knife and a paring knife, some cooks say that the knife they most can't live without is their bread knife. It's a crime to ruin a fresh loaf of bread by smashing it beneath the blade of a dull knife. The wide, “low frequency" serrations on the Shun Classic Bread Knife are not only razor-sharp, but they do a much better job slicing any type of bread than a straight-edged knife. The undulating serrations provide the power you need to gently saw through a crusty loaf without tearing the tender interior. And it works equally well on very soft breads and even pastries.
