Originating in Seki City, Japan’s historical center for manufacturing samurai swords, Shun knives are heirs to a seven-century tradition of superior workmanship. Every Shun Classic knife is an outstanding example of form fulfilling function. Both sides of their exquisitely forged VG-10 “super steel” blades are clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus steel surface. A light touch is all that’s necessary for this exceptionally sharp Chinese chef’s knife. The pakkawood handles, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and phenolic resin, are D–shaped for maximum comfort. 7¾".
