What Helps Shun Slice So Easily?

• What Makes Shun Super Sharp?
•  Slightly Steeper Blades than German Knife-makers favor helps Shun Knives slice right through food.
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side 
• act as a natural nonstick to help food release from the blade  (extra helpful for moist high-starch foods like apples + potatoes or onions)
• This Damascus Cladding also
• supports the blades' core, and
• Adds stain resistance.
• Beautiful and Beautifully Balanced so they're so easy to hold.
• Easy On Your Wrists and Arms For Long Prep and Cutting Jobs:
• Light Weight Full-composite Tang and
• SUPER SHARP Blades Lighten The Load
• Ergonomic & LOVELY Ebony PakkaWood® handles
• fit the hollow in your closed hand so they're super-comfy to hold, even for long stints in the kitchen;
• PakkaWood®'s durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria
• Each Beautiful Blade is Handcrafted in Japan 🇯🇵

Shun Knives have a core of VG-MAX steel, known for its incredible edge retention.

Shun Cutlery then clads their VG-MAX core with Damascus Stainless Steel, which is then ground and bead-blasted revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. This makes their knives thin, agile, fast, and ready to slice.
