So I've picked up a couple of the Shun Ken Onion kitchen knoves. I plan to buy more down the road. They are really nice and they keep a good edge for a long time. I'm debating options for sharpening. I know I can send them back the company and have them sharpened for free (minus shipping) but I believe there is about a 4 week turnaround on this. I have heard that this brand of home sharpener is about the best way to go Chef's Choice. I also know that Kai makes a Shun sharpener.
Normally I can keep a pretty good edge on my pocketknives and such, but I really don't want to screw up a $200 chef's knife that requires a 16 degree edge. So what say you. Ship it off and wait the 4 weeks or drop the dough and pick up one of these sharpeners? If so, which one? |
| I know I'm going to get flamed but I've been using Kershaw shun knives for several year and won't use anything else. I have a chef's choice but it is the wrong angle. My cleaning lady put the utility in the dish washer and flattened the edge. I tried the shun sharpener but got nothing! I finally threw in the towen and used one of those accusharp things like here www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=216368 and damned if it isn't sharp again! |
