  • MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand and immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
  • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts, as they may stain the surface of your knives.
  • For longer lasting knives, cut on a wooden cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
  • To maintain a sharper cutting edge, use a sharpening steel, preferably each time after using your knives.
  • It's best to store your Shun knife so the edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
  • We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you can damage your knife blade.
  • Shun knives don't need frequent sharpening because they are made from 32 extremely durable layers of stainless steel.
  • Lifetime limited warranty from Shun with normal use and proper care.
  • Made in Japan

"Shun Classic Tomato Knife"  
"Love it. Its my favorite knife so I have two of them."


Shun Classic 6 inch Tomato Knife

Tomatoes are notoriously difficult to slice, but not for the Shun Classic 6 inch tomato knife. The thin skin of a tomato is surprisingly tough, yet the delicate flesh inside will tear to pieces if you exert too much pressure and use a dull knife. The secret to perfectly slicing a tomato is incredible sharpness plus serrations to work through the skin. The Shun knife has both. It's also great for removing stems from fruits and veggies.
