All of the knives belong to the Shun Classic line, which features their unique Damascus-look clad metal technology, layers of steel and an ergonomic grip that has made Shun a rapidly growing chef-favorite over the last four years. Because they are made with Shun’s VG-10 super steel, which boasts a higher density and a higher Rockwell Hardness rating, they are sharper out of the box and retain their edge for a longer time period than their European competitors.
“As is our tradition, Shun has once again created unique shapes that truly push the boundary of conventional thought in the knife market, addressing the needs of professionals, home cooks, and kitchen samurais around the world,” said Dennis Epstein, Senior National Sales Manager for Shun Knives. Jack Igarashi, executive vice president of Kai USA and senior board member of the board of directors for Kai Japan confirmed, “We pride ourselves in making knives that are the best cutting tools for daily use in the kitchen, but will also become an heirloom piece in the same tradition of Japanese swordmaking. Our new knives absolutely meet this standard.”
