The unique combination of dark wood grain combined with the damask steel pattern gives each single knife a unique and unrepeatable look.

Thanks to the convex surface of the blade and manual sharpening of each Shun knife you get an incomparable cut, which let slip the knife through the most difficult foods to be cut.
This wire, combined with the balanced weight of the knife, allowing you to work effortlessly.
The damask grain giving each knife Shun a special character so that each knife becomes one piece - a work of art that embodies craftsmanship, technology and design.
The kitchen knife processing technique Shun was born from the Japanese samurai swords smiths of adapting the production of western style blades thus offering even to European chefs, the forms to their families made with the traditional Japanese quality.
The serrated edge of the bread knife (patented) is the result of the recent revolutionary developments KAI. The teeth of the blade slide from the center in the opposite direction and are inclined towards the outside, so that at each movement of the blade the bread is not broken but cut off, thus minimizing the production of crumbs
