The "ripple" Damascus finish on this classic chef's knife is achieved by forging 34 layers of stainless steel on each side. The flexible, stick-resistant blade is hand-ground to an exceptional 16-degree angle, then hand-polished. The knife's curved shape allows it to be gently rocked to achieve a fine mince of fresh ingredients. Impregnated with resin for durability, the beautiful blonde birch wood handle won't harbor bacteria and is comfortable for left- and right-hand use.
Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp knives are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
