Review: Great buy - I have really come to love the Shun brand as they have beautiful looking knives that also have excellent steels being used for the blades. I usually use this knife as a fillet knife and not so much as a boning knife. While I am sure that it can handle some basic spatchcocking, this is definitely not a honesuki. While the blade has a really nice hardness for the kitchen, I am worried that because it is so thing that I may end up breaking this knife on some hard bones. Overall for fillets this knife is excellent and makes easy work because it is very precise and sharp out of the box and it is also easy to hone and keep sharp until perhaps 6-12 months later when a full on sharpening session may be in order. I also have some of their other knives in this collection namely the kiritsuke and the paring and utility knife. All are excellent pieces and I would definitely rebuy or give as a gift in the future.

Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience. **Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?** A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients. **Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?** A: 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. **Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?** A: 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. **Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?** A: 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy *by T***L on August 9, 2025* I have really come to love the Shun brand as they have beautiful looking knives that also have excellent steels being used for the blades.

Ain’t no five-dollar bamma neither — this that real steel. I threw it up on a magnet joint, whole kitchen poppin’ now. Cut sharp, look sharp. Straight murder game on the food, feel me? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A piece of art and beauty as well as great craftsmanship! *by M***E on July 23, 2018* OMG This knife is a thing of beauty. I'm almost afraid of using it and marring it. Got to keep my wife away from it. I have several Shun Classic and Hiro knives in my collection which we use on a daily basis and have for years. I touch up all my blades monthly with a superfine DMT hone, so they are always super sharp. My wife is always cursing at me for getting these knives because she nicks herself all the time with the heel of the blade. I keep showing her how to properly hold these knives, but she still seems to get nicked. It has actually become humorous. She also occasionally gets the blades nicked up..ARGH! from chopping with them instead slicing with them. I have just gotten used to it; not worth getting upset. Now that I have gotten that out of that out of my system, this knife is a marvel of craftsmanship. I have wanted a highly curved blade for some time. I'll probably will use it mostly for trimming fat caps. But occasionally I get fresh fish so this will be a godsend for filleting. The blade appears to be slightly thinner than my other knives, but definitely not flexible, but this is a boning knife not a fillet knife, so I'm good with that. I also like that this has an ambidextrous handle. Did I say this knife is BEAUTIFUL! ## Frequently Bought Together - Shun Premier Blonde 6" Boning Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Boning & Fillet Knife, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle, Meat & Fish Tool for Professional and Home Chefs - Shun Premier Blonde 5.5" Nakiri Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Vegetable Knife, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle, Slicing Tool for Professional and Home Chefs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/662367278-premier-blonde-6-boning-knife-handcrafted-japanese-boning-and-fillet](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/662367278-premier-blonde-6-boning-knife-handcrafted-japanese-boning-and-fillet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
