Product Description
Shun Classic knives are beautifully finished and constructed from only the finest materials. Shun Classic Knives feature 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel pounded to 3/1000th of an inch and clad on each side of a VG10 super steel core, producing a 33-layer, rust-free Damascus pattern. VG-10 is a unique formulation of steel with a high carbon content resulting in harder steel able to hold a shaper edge for a longer time. The cutting edge is then ground to an angle of 16 degrees, making the knife extremely sharp. The result is an edge that is both long lasting and incredibly sharp. The handle is 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 Shun series kitchen knives are manufactured by KAI Corporation, which has been one of Japan's premier blade producer for more than 90 years with factories located in Seki City, Japan's famous samurai sword-making center.

Amazon.com Product Description
With its long, narrow blade and rounded tip, this 12-inch knife by Shun works well for cutting a generously sized ham into thin, even slices. It can also be used for slicing roasts, poultry, smoked salmon, and other large cuts of meat. Alternating hollows on either side of the blade create air pockets, which permit thin slicing and help prevent food from sticking, allowing slices to effortlessly fall away. Overall, the knife measures 17-8/9 by 8/9 by 1-8/9 inches.
Like other knives in Shun's Classic collection, the knife comes precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Its eye-catching beauty starts with a VG-10 stainless-steel blade, which features 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing a 33 layered Damascus look, but without the rusting problems associated with Damascus. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife's aesthetic appeal, but it also reduces drag and helps maintain the integrity of food when slicing. The knife's sleek good looks continue on into its handle. Offering a D-shaped design for a comfortable grip, the unique ebony Pakkawood handle consists of a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin to exceptionally noteworthy results. Its steel end-cap offers an attractive finishing touch, and the knife carries a limited lifetime warranty. Though dishwasher-safe, Shun recommends washing the knife by hand for best results.
