The Story of Shun Cutlery: Honoring Tradition, Crafting Perfection

Shun Cutlery’s story is rooted in the centuries-old Japanese tradition of knife-making. Based in Seki City, Japan—a place known as the heart of samurai sword-making—Shun draws from this rich history to craft knives that combine time-honored techniques with modern technology. Founded as part of the Kai Group, a company with over a century of experience in bladed tools, Shun began creating knives in 2002 that bring the sharpness and precision of traditional Japanese blades into today’s kitchens.

Each Shun knife is handcrafted by skilled artisans, with up to 100 steps in the creation process. The blades are made from high-performance steel, known for its exceptional edge retention and sharpness. Shun’s design isn’t just about function—its knives are a blend of beauty and utility, featuring elegant, ergonomic handles and Damascus-clad blades that have a distinctive, layered look.

Shun’s commitment to quality and attention to detail has earned it a reputation among both professional chefs and home cooks who value knives that perform well and last. Today, Shun is a trusted name in kitchens around the world, continuing to refine its craft while honoring its heritage.
