The Sora Combination Honing Steel gently hones or realigns the cutting edge of your Shun cutlery. Blade edges naturally bend with each use of your knives. Although the edge of the blade remains sharp, the sharpest part is no longer making contact with the food. Over time, your knives feel dull and slicing requires more effort. Honing your cutlery realigns the edges and prolongs the sharpness between professional sharpening. The Sora Combination Honing Steel complements your entire Shun Sora knife selection, keeping blades in peak-performance shape.  Made with high-quality steel, the Combination Honing Steel features both a smooth surface for every day honing, and a micro-ribbed side for weekly honing.  Honing to the correct 16-degree Shun angle is a breeze. To use, line up your blade with the built-in angle guide on the hand guard, and gently pull the blade down from heel to tip 3-4 times and repeat on the other side. The textured PP/TPE polymer handle creates a sure-grip surface to the honing steel handle, so precision honing is achieved. The Shun Sora Combination Honing Steel is a must-have to keep all your Sora blades sharp and at-the-ready for all your food preparation.
