The Shun Classic DM-0772 Kiritsuke is a true work of art in the kitchen. The blade is made of VG MAX steel, known for its hardness of 61 (±1) HRC, which guarantees exceptional and long-lasting sharpness. The VG MAX steel core is covered with 32 layers of Damascus steel, giving the blade an unmistakable appearance and a perfect combination of stability, resistance and elasticity.

The blades of the Shun Classic series are sharpened on both sides, offering precision and ease of use. The tapered handle is made of resistant pakka wood, maintaining the traditional Japanese chestnut shape.

The blades are made from laminated steel consisting of an inner layer of VG-10 stainless steel and two outer cheeks of 32-layer damascus. The result is excellent cutting ability combined with excellent edge retention and good flexibility, which is also guaranteed by differentiated tempering.

These knives currently represent the top of Japanese culinary technology. However, the quality does not stop with just the steel used, but continues with the care of the workmanship (sharpening in particular) and the materials used, such as the splendid Pakkawood used for the handles.
