Yes. Unlike some harder Japanese steels (61+ HRC), AUS10A steel at 59–60 HRC offers greater resilience, making it ideal for regular maintenance with a quality honing steel. Frequent honing helps maintain a keen edge and prolongs intervals between professional sharpening. Shun Kanso knives are particularly well-suited for cooks comfortable with a honing steel. By honing regularly between sharpenings, you preserve the blade’s sharpness and ensure consistently high performance in the kitchen over time.
