Having trouble getting an edge on my Shun knife? - shun knives
As a rule, buy only German knives.
But I recently bought a Shun, a Japanese knife. I love him, but I did get a damn long time, an advantage over him.
It seems that the German knives are the best way to raise?
I can not get my Shun an advantage because it is thicker.
What would be the best way to sharpen my Shun?

There are three basic options for sharpening your Shun knives. The first option is to take your knives to a professional sharpener. If you choose this option, please make sure your professional sharpener knows that Shun knives are sharpened at an angle of 16 degrees on both sides.
The second sharpening option to buy an electric sharpener. A series of pencil sharpeners on the market, but you must have a shredder, which will ensure a 16-degree angle to, you the best piece of Shun knives, to buy. Shun makes an electric sharpener sells for $ 59, an excellent choice for sharpening. Remember, however, clearly not something that should be done weekly or even monthly. Metal parts from sharpening the blade for sharpening too often may reduce the life of the blade.
Finally, you can send the knife to Kai, American Service of Portland, Oregon. Spa in Portland, we can restore the factory edge of your resume with the knife again, without taking cost to you, apart from the knife to us. Just make sure you specify an address and phone number so we can contact you if necessary.
Thus sharpening their knives, send this to:
Kai USA
Make sure care

Good quality knife should be sharpened twice a year.
However, it is necessary every time you use the knife. I have a sashimi knife world, and I am steel (often) sometimes in the middle to cut the fish. My Wustoffs seem to hold the edge better. Once you are on the edge of a razor, but the world !!!..
You may have to start Shun professionally sharpened this now, but remember that steel and should be accepted.
I also believe that the German knives are easier to sharpen. Henckels, I had some that lasted forever. I think the Shun Steel knives are very difficult, so you need a steel or diamond stone. Be Henckels has a few stones and steels http://usa.jahenckels.com/index.php?subcategory=6 diamonds here, but a good option, you can directly Shun
