Can I use this for my Shun knives?

My understanding is that it should not be used for Shun blades. The angle on Shun is different and you will not not get a proper edge.

I have used this for my Shun knives and have had very good results. If used correctly, the Mino Sharp Stage III is perfect for Shun and Global Knives, as long as they are not a single side edge.

Other reviewers had said that it can be used for Shun knives; I don't know.

I have used it with good results on my set of Global Sai knives. Follow the directions to fill with water and insert knives at proper angle.

I have neither, but I have been pleased with it's sharpening capabilities on Wustof and Anolon knives. Since your Shun knives are probably 15° and your Henckels are 20°, having both 15° and 20° sharpening capabilities would be a benefit. Right after I used the sharpener for the first time I needed a new box of band-aids ;-D. Really sharp. We have glass dinnerware, so the steak knives need frequent sharpening and it does a great job there, too.

Yes, I am quite sure you can. You can contact Shun knives via their website or approach one of their authorized venders. They should be able to order a left handed knife if they do not stock them. I love my Shun knives!

Sure, but I wouldn't recommend it. I bought it for the cheap house knives at my restaurant. I sharpen all of MY knives by hand still

Yes, I use it on my Ginsu Japanese steel knives and they are sharper than ever. I love this Smith's sharpener! Best thing I've bought in a long time.

I would not recommend it. I'm not sure if it would do good or harm to the knife. They recommend these sharpeners for knives made in Japan, with a certain blade angle. I think you would be safe just going with a normal knive sharpener for this.

The Shun Premier line is a more round handle. I'm right handed and my girlfriend is left handed, and the knives fit perfect for both of us. I don't believe she would have any problems with the Premier line.

I don't know why it wouldn't be OK. They are just solid long skinny straws that makeup the knife compartment. (Like would be in a broom). Good luck.

yes. I would suggest, however, spending more money on a better set of knives. knives will be with you for the rest of your life if you take care of them. Ginsu knives as advertised on Amazon are a low quality knifes. so don't make my mistake!!!

No the blade is beveled to 16 degrees instead 24 so it's much safer to sharpen by hand or with shun sharpener but to get original blade like best to send back to shun for there free sharpening services

These are also great if you have multiple knifes. Search on Amazon-----eKitch Large Universal Knife Block - great for steel and ceramic knives (Bamboo)

Hi - I'm not completely sure. But from my experience, you can use on all knives. It's super easy and a great sharpener. Their customer service is great - shoot them a quick email before purchasing. Hope that helped.

Get the shun whetstone, and youtube some videos on how to use it. Then you're going to need a honing steel, I recommend the shun one because it's designed for their blades... I wouldn't do it any other way because machines and "professional" knives sharpening companies aren't going to take the time to sharpen the knife properly and in the long run you'll shorten your cleavers blade / life .

I don't know what Shun knives are but there are magnets that position the blade at the correct angle on both sides of the cutting edge. It has worked very well for me. Most of my knives are Henckels. My cleaver is too thick and heavy for an electric sharpener so I use a stone on it.

The angles are 22 degrees and the machine will automatically position your knife in that angle. I have a Shun knife and it works fine for me. I not only have the Chef's Choice for myself but have given it as gifts and everyone that I have given it to is very satisfied. Good luck!

It would work very well, and actually should be used for a Gyuto knife. Because the blade is thinner and stronger than most, the 15 degree angle of the Asian sharpener is perfect. If you've used any other sharpener, again it will take awhile to get the blade to a 15 degree angle. Be patient.
