Shun

With each use of your knife, the razor sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit. The edge is still sharp, but the sharpest part isn’t making contact with the food. The answer is honing with the shun kanso combination honing steel. It gently realigns the edge of the blade, prolonging the knife's sharpness. This Kanso 9 in. Steel Honing Steel has two surfaces a smooth one for day to day honing, and a micro ribbed one for weekly honing. While fine European knives can require honing after each use, shun's harder steel means you can done just once a week or so, depending on your level of use. To make honing to the correct 16° shun angle easier, this Kanso 9 in. Steel Honing Steel has a built in 16° angle on the handle. The steel handle provides a secure grip and matches the look of the rest of the shun kanso line.

Japanese water stones are an efficient and effective tool for keeping your knives sharp. Using just a few drops of water (no soaking necessary), your knives will be sharp in a matter of minutes - no oil necessary. This Kramer by Zwilling set features a coarse 400-grit glass stone for dull knives or for reshaping blades, a finer 1,000-grit glass stone for honing, and a 5000-grit glass stone for finishing touches. The bamboo sharpening stone sink bridge holds the stones when in use. Also included in this set is the easy-to-follow Sharpening Instructional DVD by master bladesmith Bob Kramer.

Item was received quickly, well packaged, & arrived in perfect condition. Excellent price for an exceptional product, discount code was a bonus & much appreciated as it made this more affordable. Sink bridge is very sturdy & well made as are all of the included stones. I am looking forward to becoming proficient using these whetstones, but because there is a learning curve for a newbie I am going to practice on my older/less expensive knives first. Included instructional DVD is also appreciated but for those who no longer have a DVD slot in their computers there is also a YouTube video by Bob Kramer available on-line. There are less expensive sets available out there but the quality is no where near this one. Comparing the cost to have your knives professionally sharpened vs. purchasing this set, will save you a lot money in the long run & add another skill to your tool belt.. Lorraine. FL.
