User questions & answers

Question:	why does the stainless finish waterspot so bad? I have a water softener
Answer:	Hello, I'm very sorry to hear you're having issues with water spots. Here is some basic cleaning and care information: Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains and calcium build up may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward. Also take care to protect surfaces that may be damaged by vinegar. The white vinegar can stain porous stones like granite, limestone and marble. You can also use a cleaner called " bar keepers friend" which works very well with removing water spots. If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: 409, Fantastic, or Windex, when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use. Avoid using the following which can damage your finish: Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub and Tile Cleaner, Lime Away and Soft Scrub. Best regards, Brandis
Question:	My older Delta shower faucet has the diverter by the handle, not on the spout. Can I replace with diverter on faucet, will there be a problem
Answer:	Hello! Thank you for your question. We no longer manufacture shower units with push button diverters. For further assistance with this inquiry, please contact our Delta Customer Service line at (800)345-3358. We are available Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm, CST and Saturday, 8am-5pm, CST. You may also email at [email protected]. Best Regards, Rosanna
Question:	Is this made from plastic
Answer:	The cartridge insert is plastic (obviously). The shower head body is metal, and the inner diffuser is plastic. Everything else is metal. Delta is still the best product, and best product for money. Their SS products are excellent.
Question:	Does it come with the cartridge
Answer:	Yes, this comes with the cartridge (the part the goes in the rough-in valve). You still need to have a rough-in valve like the Delta R10000-UNBXHF Multichoice Universal or similar installed to use this shower set.

Shun

“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection.

Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see.

Handcrafted in Japan

Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Knife Steel is Essential

Heat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process.

Quality and Performance

Shun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time.

Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.

Shun Kanso

Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means "simplicity" but it is a simplicity that is achieved by concentrating solely on what is most essential. When it comes to Shun's Kanso cutlery, essential means high-performance steel, a razor sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control.

Kanso is simple - and beautiful - kitchen cutlery that simply performs.

Tagayasan Wood Handle

Known as "iron sword wood" - the Kanso line features a Tagayasan Wood handle that is notable for its denseness, durability, and simple beauty while providing easy cutting control. The handle is also angled for a comfortable chef's grip and precision cutting.

Full Tang Construction

Providing cutting balance and strength, the Kanso line features a full tang construction, meaning the blade and handle are one piece of steel.

The Kanso line also features a Heritage finish on the blade that helps hide scratches and gives the blade a rustic look that improves with age.

Layered Steel

As in all Shun knives, the steel is essential to the performance of the cutting edge. The Kanso line features Japanese AUS10A blade steel - a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer.

Shun and Sharpening

Shun brand products sold by Kai USA Ltd. are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

User questions & answers

Question:	I would like to buy sleeves for this set. Do you have any to offer or know where i can purchase
Answer:	great for carving. One of the best knifes
Question:	how much does the kit weigh
Answer:	The Premier knives are hammered at top which is for more than just aesthetics; the blade gets thicker toward the top which helps push food away, and the hammered area helps food not stick. The handles are also different, in that the Classic handle is "D" shaped and will not work for left handed people. The Premier handle is rounded and will for right or left handed people.
Question:	Are these knives any different than shun classic sold individually
Answer:	It comes with a cardboard sheath for packing but not recommended to store or use as a permanent sheath. Paper is not good for the blade. I haven't found any sheaths for this knife so instead, I keep it in a wood block knife rack.
Question:	Shun DMS0899 8-Piece Classic Student Knife Set ; is this a right had set
Answer:	Yes, the boning knife come with sheath.

Shun Classic

Shun Classics are the original Shuns, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty, Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle.

With Shun Classic, you'll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes - so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.

Pakkawood Handle

These traditional Japanese-style handles have a slight ridge on the right side, which fits into the curl of the fingers for a comfortable and secure grip. Viewed end-on, the shape resembles the capital letter "D". Pakkawood is waterproof, incredibly durable, and won't harbor bacteria.

Shun is Different

If you've never owned a Japanese knife before, you'll immediately notice how different a Shun feels in the hand. Shun is harder, lighter, and sharper. Sharpened to a steeper angle (16 degrees) with an edge that will hold longer, the Classic line is designed to cut in a smooth, slicing motion.

Layered Steel

Shun proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is a high-end "super steel" that is extremely hard, enabling Shun Classic knives to take an incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus Cladding is made of 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, for a total of 69 layers. Classic's cladding supports the cutting core, adds stain and corrosion resistance, and looks elegant.

Question:	Is it long enough for a 10 inch chef knife
Answer:	I took a photo to send you the inside measurements, to see if it will accommodate your knife's 10" blade.It won't let me paste the photo. The inside has pockets that can fit a 5" long handle. From the end of the pocket for the handle, there is 13" of space from that edge to the opposite side where the zipper is. Total inside space is 18.5". I hope this helps.Cheers,Christian

Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.

Shun Classic

Shun Classics are the original Shuns, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty, Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle.

With Shun Classic, you'll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes - so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.

Pakkawood Handle

These traditional Japanese-style handles have a slight ridge on the right side, which fits into the curl of the fingers for a comfortable and secure grip. Viewed end-on, the shape resembles the capital letter "D". Pakkawood is waterproof, incredibly durable, and won't harbor bacteria.

Shun is Different

If you've never owned a Japanese knife before, you'll immediately notice how different a Shun feels in the hand. Shun is harder, lighter, and sharper. Sharpened to a steeper angle (16 degrees) with an edge that will hold longer, the Classic line is designed to cut in a smooth, slicing motion.

Layered Steel

Shun proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is a high-end "super steel" that is extremely hard, enabling Shun Classic knives to take an incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus Cladding is made of 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, for a total of 69 layers. Classic's cladding supports the cutting core, adds stain and corrosion resistance, and looks elegant.

Shun and Sharpening

Shun are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

Product description

This stunning 2-piece set from Shun features 2 of our most popular multi-purpose knives in our Shun Classic line: The 8-Inch Shun Classic Hollow-Ground Chef’s Knife and the 7-Inch Classic Asian Chef's knife (known as a Gyuto knife in Japan). The traditional styling of the Classic 8-Inch Chef’s Knife with hollow-ground or scalloped edge is the perfect go-to-knife for slicing, mincing, dicing-whatever the task. The scalloped edge keeps food from sticking to the blade making cutting tasks quick and easy. The 7-Inch Asian Chef’s Knife is the Japanese equivalent of the Chef's Knife or all-purpose knife. The blade is thinner than the traditional Chef's Knife, but still offers plenty of knuckle clearance when cutting on a board. It is a lighter, more nimble multi-purpose kitchen knife. Both knives are must-haves in your Shun Classic collection. Ultra-thin and incredibly sharp, Shun Classic knife blades feature a 16-degree blade angle making each blade much sharper than traditional western knives. Crafted in Seki City Japan, Shun Classic knives are forged in the tradition of samurai sword making and are known world-wide for their incredible edge-retention. Each blade core features Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, and is clad with 34 layers each side with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The ebony D-shaped Packwood handle has that sleek, sophisticated look that makes these knives feel more like art, than instrument. The D-shape fits naturally in the hand, for a comfortable grip, regardless of the length of the cutting task at hand. This wood-grain pattern not only enhances the knife's beauty, it also adds durability and stain resistance, and reduces friction when cutting. These heirloom quality knives will be a prized treasure you'll want to pass down to family for generations.

• 2-Piece Shun Classic Knife Set includes one each: 8-Inch Classic Chef's Knife and 7-Inch Classic Asian Chef's Knife
• Made from VG-10 stainless steel clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel
• Patterned, layered surface; stunning look of Damascus steel with ultra-sharp 16-degree blade angle
• Rockwell hardness rating of 60-61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer
• Black laminated Pakkawood D-shaped handles provide maximum comfort and reduces friction and fatigue

User questions & answers

Question:	How are they packaged
Answer:	Just arrived, hoping they would come in a nice Shun "duo" box or even individual Shun branded boxes. Sadly, they were just wrapped individually in bubble wrap inside a plain box... will probably order a wooden knife block or a knife roll.

Product description

The Shun Sora 6-Piece Block Set contains essential knives for a well-equipped kitchen. Exquisite bamboo block initially attracts attention but the high quality, premium stainless steel knives it houses are captivating. The 3.5-inch Paring Knife conquers the challenge of precise cuts needed for preparing small fruits and vegetables and is a perfect size to be used in hand or on cutting board. 6-inch Utility Knife sports a slim and straighter blade, a dexterous form establishing itself as a prime, in-between knife for ingredients too large for a paring knife. The 8-inch Chef’s Knife has a gentle roll off the tip of the knife compared to the large roll of a Western-style knife, so the Sora needs to be lifted less, making cutting more efficient. 8-inch blade is an ideal size for handling larger meats, vegetables and fruits. The Combination Honing Steel is a necessity for proper knife care, with surfaces for daily and weekly honing. Together, Sora 6-Piece Block Set is an unparalleled set.

User questions & answers

Question:	Which "utility Knife" is part of the set
Answer:	http://www.amazon.com/Shun-VB0701-Utility-Knife-6-Inch/dp/B00BQ83I22/ref=pd_sim_k_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BEV7WHG3V9PCGQ5E5MRBest one IMHO
Question:	I saw somewhere there there was a 10 year warranty on Sora knives and that this included free sharpening when you send them in.. is that true
Answer:	For clarification - our Shun Sora series of knives now have a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects just like all Shun series knives. Our free sharpening program (not part of our warranty) is for all Shun cutlery for the life of your Shun knife. Please visit our website ShunCutlery.com for more information! Thanks!
Question:	What is the handle made of? Plastic or Wood
Answer:	Thank you for you inquiry. Each Shun Sora knife handle is made of textured TPE polymer plastic to provide excellent grip and balance without sacrificing ease of maintenance.
Question:	Are these the same knives that are sold individually? Or are they lesser quality knives
Answer:	Technically they are lesser quality. My Shun Fuji is a classification called "SG2," one of the highest grades they offer. The grades respond to a hardness rating. A one point increase may not seem like much but represents a 10% increase in hardness, which allows them to make the blade that much thinner, which allows for better cutting, etc.There are 3 Tiers of Steel Hardening that Shun offersVG10 (Which is what the Sora set is) - 60 pointsVG-MAX (Which is the next step up, the Classic set) - 61 pointsSG2 (Which is the Fuji set from Williams Sonoma) - 62 pointsThe quality of the steel, however is hardened by the same process. The blade should not last any less amount of time but will not be as thin and delicate as the higher grades of steel hardness.This gift was a set for my Mother in Law and is replacing a Chicago Cutlery set that has been through the dishwasher (eek!) one too many times. The difference is phenomenal. Just to put this into perspective one last time, even the Sora set here will be an incredible experience if you're coming from German or American steel.

Shun

“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection.

Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see.

Handcrafted in Japan

Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Knife Steel is Essential

Heat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process.

Quality and Performance

Shun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time.

Shun Sora

In Japanese, Sora means "sky." With Sora's proprietary Composite Blade Technology, this beautiful series offers sky-high value by bringing together a VG10 three-layer san mai cutting edge with a polished Japanese 420J stainless steel upper.

This technology puts high-performance material exactly where it's needed most - on the cutting edge.

Knife Handle

The Sora line features a traditional handle design with textured TPE which provides excellent grip, balance, and easy maintenance. Topped on the end of the handle is the Shun logo in stainless steel which enhances and balances the handle.

Composite Blade Technology

Sora uses Kai's proprietary Composite Blade technology to bring together a VG10 three-layer san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. The two blade sections are laser cut, then fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

Braze welding permanently joins them. The attractie wavy pattern at the join is based on traditional Japanese sword hamon lines.

Layered Steel

The Sora line features VG10 clad with a layer of stainless steel on each side to support and protect, then hand-sharpened to 16 degrees each side.

Shun and Sharpening

Shun are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products with this claim, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

User questions & answers

Question:	What knives are included in the set
Answer:	These are the best knives I have ever used--by far! I absolutely love them! One nit: the tips can be a bit brittle so if you do something silly with the knife, a small amount of the tip can break off. However, the overall performance is excellent! They are super sharp, the handles are perfect, and they hold an edge very well. I'm also very happy with the block! After the fact, I added a 10" Chef's knife and it fits great. As far as the knives included here, use a little initiative and check out the Shun website!
Question:	Does the set come with the lifetime warranty and is there w sharpening service they offer
