Shun

The Kai Group pioneered the use of Shun knives. Saijiro Endo founded the company in Seki, Japan, in 1908, and began by producing a variety of cutlery for the Asian market. It first brought them to the Western market in 2002.

Shun considers the blade to be "more than a tool; it's a tradition." A blade, whether a samurai sword or a steak knife, is something to be treasured and necessitates thinking and superb craftsmanship.

Shun's objective is to uphold "historic heritage by handcrafting each knife at our Seki City facilities"—the home of Japanese bladesmithing. Every piece of the cutlery produced by the business goes through over 100 phases, maintaining the history and valuing the craft.

The brand displays several accolades for various of its knives, demonstrating how high quality they genuinely are. The business specializes in blades and offers a modest selection of knives, sets, and accessories such as cutting boards to go with them.

• Durable
• Sharp
