Precision where it matters most.
The Kai Shun Classic Boning Knife 15 cm is purpose-built for tasks that demand control, accuracy, and a razor-sharp edge. Designed for filleting fish and separating meat cleanly from the bone, its narrow, curved blade slips effortlessly into tight spaces, reducing drag and allowing you to work close to the bone without waste. From trimming silver skin on a tenderloin to preparing cutlets or skinning fish, this knife makes detailed work faster, cleaner, and more precise.
Handcrafted in Japan, it takes more than 100 steps to make each Shun knife. The Shun Classic series features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives’ beauty is function; razor-sharp blades offer top performance.
Shun Classic’s proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side (a total of 69 layers). Ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, corrosion-resistant, and beautiful to behold.

Use & Care:
Using Your Shun Knife
- Use a smooth slicing or push cutting motion rather than forceful chopping
- Avoid twisting, prying or bending the blade sideways
- Do not cut bones, joints, frozen foods or very hard items
- Allow the fine edge to do the work for the best performance
Cutting Surfaces
- Use wooden boards, wood composites or medium-firm synthetic boards
- Avoid glass, marble, granite, stone or ceramic surfaces
- Hard surfaces will dull or damage the blade edge quickly
Cleaning & Drying
- Hand wash only using warm water and mild dish soap
- Avoid citrus-based soaps, bleach or abrasive cleaners
- Rinse thoroughly after washing
- Dry immediately with a soft towel
- Do not soak or leave the knife in standing water
- Never place in the dishwasher
Storage
- Store in a knife block, magnetic strip, drawer tray or blade guard
- Ensure the blade is fully dry before storage
- Do not store loose items in a drawer without protection
Honing & Sharpening
- Hone regularly to realign the edge and maintain sharpness
- Use a suitable honing steel or guided system
- When dull, sharpen with whetstones or a professional service

Proper care will preserve the sharpness, beauty and performance of your Shun Classic knife for many years of confident cooking.
