The damask knife par excellence

The Shun chef's knife series is one of the widest ranges of damask knives in the world and has an unrivaled success with elite chefs and demanding home cooks.

Shun professional knives are made of special, stainless damask steel and consist of 32 layers and a V-Gold-10 steel core. This steel, particularly resistant to corrosion and very hard (61±1 HRC, 1.0% carbon, 1.5% cobalt), makes the blade incomparably sharp for a long life.

The convex edge of the damask blade as well as the manual sharpening of each Shun knife guarantee an incomparable cut, like no other knife, even on the most difficult to cut products. This sharp blade, combined with the balanced weight of the knife, allows fatigue-free work.

The refinement of the beautiful natural grain of damask steel gives each Shun knife an individual character. Each Shun knife thus becomes an incomparable unique piece: a work of art that combines craftsmanship, technique and design.

Care advice:

• We recommend cleaning Kai knives by hand with dish soap and hot water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel.
• Do not put Kai knives in the dishwasher.
