ShunSora Paring Knife 8 Inch VB0706

Q: What is the edge shape on this Shun Sora knife? Is it a Western type edge shape of 50/50, or a more traditional Japanese edge shape of 70/30?

Edge geometry is 50/50. 16 degrees on each side - handcrafted Shun quality!

Q: How often do you need to sharpen this knife, never, rarely or frequently?

Great question! This all depends on a number of factors, such as: what you're cutting against (Shun recommends Hinoki cutting boards), if you're using a slicing motion vs. up/down chop (slicing is always the preferred method), hand wash & dry (never dishwasher), etc. In addition to the above, the best way to elongate the sharpness life of your Sora knife and not sharpen (remove metal) as often, is to make sure you are using our Shun Honing Steel (model VB0790) at least on a once-a-week basis on your go-to Shun's. This will not re-sharpen your knife, but gently re-align your factory edge back into shape. Think of our honing steel as a chiropractor for your knife's cutting edge. Also, make sure you align your knife's angle against our convenient collar on the honing steel to perfectly achieve a 16 degree angle for the stroke, and use a light touch! The lighter, the better; no need to grind into the steel. Once after proper honing, you should notice an improvement in the cutting performance. Once you get to the point you don't, then it's time to have the knife sharpened. Did you know Shun offers our famous 'Free sharpening' program for the life of your Shun knife?

Q: Does the knife have a double edge?

If by edge you mean bevel then yes, it has it in both sides. It came with good sharp, not needed to be resharpened when it arived. Only sharpened it once in the last year, if you take good care of it it holds for a good time, only used a leather strop every 1 or 2 months.

Q: My knife rusted at the handle seam and came apart. Does this come with a lifetime guarantee?

My is still in good shape, sharp and operable
