The Shun Premier line calls to mind as the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. Even as Each and every knife still takes no less than 100 handcrafted steps to finish, the materials Shun uses are a few of the most advanced within the industry. Each and every blade has a cutting core of Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge.
The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed, very similar to samurai swords the use of a traditional clay-baking technique.
The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to scale back drag. The handles nestle comfortably within the hand, Even as the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
