Shun Premier 9" Combination Honing Steel – TDM0790 – Made in Japan – Authorized USA Dealer

The Shun Premier 9" Combination Honing Steel is designed to keep your knives performing at their peak with effortless precision. Just as a musician tunes an instrument before every performance, a chef hones their knives to align the blade’s edge and keep it working true. Honing doesn’t remove metal the way sharpening does, but it restores the edge for clean, confident cuts.

This premium steel offers two surfaces in one tool. The smooth side provides gentle alignment for regular maintenance, while the micro-ribbed side offers a more aggressive option when blades need more realignment. With a few smooth strokes along the length of the honing steel, you preserve edge performance and help your knives stay true longer between professional sharpenings.
