I would not buy this knife sharpener again. It is too pricey for what it is. I WOULD buy a diamond knife sharpener.

Shun makes the best knives that I own. So, why not maintain their edges with a Shun steel? Don’t bother. The steel is nicely made but only does a mediocre job. I’ll stick with F. Dick sharpening steels from now on.

Shun. What more needs to be said??? It is simple, Shun is the best all around. Will you pay more? Sure you will but you will never have to buy a replacement in your lifetime. Shun knives are the best in the world, no question.

I purchased a Shun santoku knife and thought I’d need a honing steel as well.
I picked the Shun because they note that the handle is aligned with the blade’s angle.
But it’s only angled on one side. So honing both sides of the knife requires switching both hands and turning the stone as well.
Given that Shun thought to add the feature, it should really have implemented it a bit better.
