Product Description
Made from VG-10 high-carbon steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. An additional benefit includes the slight patterning, which helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade. Designed by Ken Onion, one of the world's top knife designers, this 7-inch Shun Santoku knife combines the qualities of a vegetable cleaver and a chef's knife for powerful yet precise chopping and slicing. The knife features a handle made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The arched handle and stainless-steel angled bolster offers extra clearance over the cutting board for safety and extra slicing power, plus prevent the knife from twisting or slipping, even when hands are wet. Furthermore, the knife comes in attractive Shun packaging--great for gift giving. Like all Shun Ken Onion cutlery, the knife should be washed by hand and dried completely. The knife measures 12 by 2-1/2 by 3/4 inches and carries a lifetime warranty when purchased directly from Amazon.com.
Product Description
Desired for its ability to glide through everything from dense, starchy foods, such as squash to delicate tomatoes, this 7-inch Santoku knife offers the balance and weight similar to a chef???s knife. Its amazing sharpness combined with hollow pockets of space on the blade allows food to release easily without affecting the precision of the slice. The stainless handle is unique to this line and provides comfort and control.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun cutlery maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade creates minute air pockets that offer stick resistance, so food releases easier and prep time is reduced--plus it???s rust-free. The Shun Steel line features an attractive stainless steel handle, formed in the same ???D??? shape as the Classic knives
