Why use Hinoki cutting boards?

Hard surfaces like tile, stone, or acrylic, can dull your knives. Use softer boards that will “give” instead. Shun recommends Hinoki wood, a Japanese cypress prized for its durability, beauty, and light fragrance.

How do I take care of my Hinoki cutting board?

Wet the cutting board before each use; this will help resist staining. Wash the board with a mild detergent, then towel it dry. Finally, let it air-dry away from direct sunlight.

What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?

Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

How often should I sharpen my knife?

Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?

Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.
