Shun Knife Care Kit

Inspired by the style of care and tools traditionally used to keep Samurai swords in optimal condition, Shun cutlery experts decided to create a convenient kit to maintain "kitchen swords," too. It includes a collection of tools—from polishing cloths and sticks, to a handcrafted Japanese-style talc ball—to help eliminate natural tarnishing, discoloration and surface rust that can develop, even with the best of care.

• Includes polishing cloths, polishing sticks, food-grade oil, talc ball, bamboo storage box and instruction booklet (See More Info tab for details).

Kit includes:

• Polishing Cloths (3): Use two for polishing and one for applying oil.
• Polishing Sticks (5): Includes fine, medium and coarse grits for cleaning and polishing.
• Food-Grade Oil: Protects blade surface after cleaning.
• Talc Ball: Handcrafted with mildly abrasive powder to gently clean the blade.
• Bamboo Box: Handmade of eco-friendly bamboo for convenient storage.

• Polishing Cloths (3): 5" x 6"; made of superfine cotton.
• Polishing Sticks (5): 3/4" x 7" long.
• Food-Grade Oil: 2 oz.
• Talc Ball: 4 1/2" x 2".
• Bamboo Box: 7 1/3" x 2 1/2" x 2 3/4" high.
• Made in China.

Use

• Shun blades are extremely sharp and should be handled with caution at all times.
• Always wash blades that have been oiled prior to use.

Care

• Preventative maintenance is the best maintenance. Keep knives in top condition with simple daily care: use proper cutting techniques, cut on appropriate surfaces, hand wash in mild detergent, dry thoroughly with an absorbent towel and allow to air-dry before storage.
