This Shun knife is by far the best that I have ever owned. It is extremely sharp and its ergonomics helps force you to hold the knife properly.
Detailed Features
Blade core consists of high-carbon VG-10, a Japanese super steel known for its edge retention, allowing the knives to hold their sharp edges for years.
Blades boast a 16-degree angle, making these the sharpest knives out of the box. This is sharper than traditional European blades, which are usually sharpened to 20-22 degrees.
Clad with 16 layers of SUS410/SUS431 Pattern Damascus stainless steel on each side for strength and flexibility. This metal is corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain.
Damascus styling adds to the beauty of the knife while the microscopic air pockets created by the cladding process reduces friction during slicing.
D-shaped handle fits in the palm and provides comfort and control, keeping the knife’s handle secure in the hand during use.
Available standard in D-shaped handle styles or by special order in reverse D-shaped handle styles.
Pakkawood handles, made of resin-impregnated hardwood, are NSF Certified for use in commercial kitchens.
Produced in Seki City, Japan, the capital of samurai sword manufacturing.
Rockwell hardness rating of 60-61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer.
Hand wash and dry recommended; limited lifetime warranty.
