What we love about these Japanese knives is that they bring together this ancient tradition with state-of-the-art technology and premium materials.
The core of the blade is VG-10 super steel clad on both sides resulting in 34 layers of Damascus steel, ground to an ultra-sharp 16 degree angle. The resulting blade exhibits a beautiful wood grain pattern allowing it to slice easily through whatever cooking job you’re tackling.
The D-shaped ebony Pakkawood handle makes the Shun a comfortable knife to hold by allowing it to fit naturally into the palm of your hand. Shun offers a wide assortment of blade shapes, so we can always find the right knife for the task at hand.
