The Benifjui Knife Series is an elegant but durable Japanese knife.
Experience the “Full Tang” with superior robustness and prevents your hand from fatigue under prolonged use.
The Pakkawood handles provide a comfortable fit and durability. Each handle is made from compressed and laminated Pakkawood with an elegant look and trusted durability. The handles are water resistant but still utilize the nature of wood.
Each blade is constructed from 8A Stainless Steel and experiences a 3 Chamfering Process which reduces the friction against food and the blade. The blade is treated with a special chamfering process.
The edge on the blade after manufacturing is finished with a special grinding process which results in a smoother blade, thus giving the blade a superior cutting edge and requiring less force or power for cutting as the blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge.
Shun recommends that you protect your investment by handwashing your blades with gentle dish soap.
Don’t use soaps with citrus extracts or bleach; they can promote corrosion. Do not use scouring pads, steel, or gritty cleanser when cleaning the blades. Rinse and towel dry immediately.
Let the knives air dry for a few minutes before returning them to storage. Never leave your knife sitting in a sink full of soapy water. It does metals no good to be submerged in water for prolonged periods of time, and it’s a danger to you when you reach in.
After you have washed and dried your knives, store them in a block, knife case, in-drawer tray, or sheath. We do not recommend storing the knives unsheathed in a drawer, as this can be a potential hazard to the blades as well as your fingers.
Note
Handwashing is also the best way to care for the wood handles of your Shun knives.
The handle color may change slightly over time due to oils in the hand as well as the natural color change of wood from oxidation and/or exposure to light. This is not a defect, but a natural part of the process.
In order to maximize the life of the blade, regular honing with a Shun steel will be necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly. When the time comes to sharpen these premium blades, we recommend using a whetstone, the Kai electric sharpener (specifically designed to sharpen Shun’s 16° blade angle), or sending the knives to a professional sharpener.
