Shun – DM0790 – Classic 9″ Honing Steel – Stainless Satin – Pakkawood – Black

Description

Maintain the razor-sharp performance of your Shun knives with the Shun Classic 9″ Honing Steel, model DM0790. Crafted specifically to uphold the integrity and edge alignment of Shun’s premium cutlery, this honing steel is an essential tool for anyone serious about kitchen performance and blade longevity. Unlike traditional sharpening, which removes metal from the blade, honing realigns the edge without degrading the blade itself. With regular use, a knife’s edge can naturally bend microscopically—still sharp, but misaligned. The Shun Classic DM0790 solves that problem with two precision-engineered honing surfaces: a smooth surface for frequent (weekly) maintenance and a micro-ribbed surface for more thorough (monthly) alignment, depending on your knife use. One of the standout features of the DM0790 is the built-in 16° angle guide on the handle. This feature makes it simple to maintain the proper angle specific to Shun’s Japanese-style blades, ensuring that even novice users can hone with confidence and precision. The D-shaped handle is made from ebony-finished PakkaWood, a premium, resin-impregnated hardwood that resists moisture and provides a comfortable, secure grip for both right- and left-handed users. Constructed with stainless steel and premium materials, this honing steel not only performs with excellence but also complements the aesthetic of the full Shun Classic line. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a home cook aiming for optimal knife care, the DM0790 is the right tool to keep your blades performing like new.
