Shun Classic 7" Granton Edge Santoku Knife
Where Effortless Prep Meets Japanese Artistry Imagine shallots falling into a paper-thin mince with a single, whisper-quiet pass. Picture delicate herbs staying vibrant and green, never bruised. With the Shun Classic 7-inch Santoku, this level of precision isn't just possible—it's the new standard for your kitchen. Handcrafted in Seki City, the heart of Japanese knifemaking, this Santoku is an all-purpose powerhouse designed to be the ultimate extension of your hand. Its blade is shorter and wider than a traditional chef's knife, giving you extraordinary control for close, detailed work while being robust enough to handle the three virtues of a Santoku: slicing, dicing, and mincing. Discover the Shun Classic Difference: The Effortless Glide: Say goodbye to frustrating sticking. The hollow-ground dimples along the blade (the "Granton Edge") create tiny air pockets, allowing food to fall away seamlessly. You'll move through potatoes, onions, and proteins with unmatched speed and ease. A Wickedly Sharp, Lasting Edge: At the core is Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel." This incredibly hard, fine-grained steel is fortified with tungsten for toughness and extra chromium for corrosion resistance. It takes and holds a razor-sharp 16° edge far longer than other knives, meaning less time sharpening and more time creating. Beauty That Protects: The core is supported by 34 layers of Damascus steel on each side. This stunning, rippled pattern is not just for looks; it adds stain resistance, reduces drag, and protects the hard cutting core. Perfected Comfort and Control: Grasp the D-shaped PakkaWood handle and feel the difference. It’s designed for a comfortable, secure grip that resists moisture and provides nimble control for both right- and left-handed chefs. An Authentic Legacy of Craftsmanship: Each knife is a masterpiece, requiring over 100 handcrafted steps to complete. This is not just a tool, but an investment in the same quality and tradition trusted by professional chefs worldwide.
This is more than a knife; it's an invitation to elevate your craft. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a passionate home cook, the Shun Classic Santoku will transform your food preparation from a chore into a moment of pure culinary joy. Learn More$189.95 -

Shun Classic 12-inch Hollow Ground Brisket Slicer (DM0778)
For the dedicated pitmaster or culinary professional tasked with carving large-format proteins, the Shun Classic 12-inch Hollow Ground Brisket Knife (DM0778) offers an exceptional combination of length, precision, and specialized design. At 12 inches, the narrow blade is engineered specifically for single-pass slicing. This uninterrupted motion is crucial for preserving the natural juices and structural integrity of delicate cuts like smoked brisket, roasted turkey, or prime rib, eliminating the tearing and shredding often caused by a repetitive sawing motion. The blade features a series of hollow-ground indentations (often referred to as a Granton edge) that create microscopic air pockets during the cut, significantly reducing friction and preventing dense meats from adhering to the steel. Unlike the core Shun Classic line which utilizes a clad VG-MAX steel, this specialized slicer is deliberately forged from a single layer of high-performance Japanese AUS8A stainless steel. This specific alloy is chosen for its ideal balance of sharpness, stain resistance, and the necessary flexibility required in a long carving blade, preventing the brittleness that can sometimes occur in extremely hard steels of this length. The blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle per side, while the rounded tip adds safety and prevents accidental puncturing of the meat or foil wraps. Balancing the blade is a robust, full-tang construction secured by rivets within an ebony-finished PakkaWood® handle. The traditional Japanese D-shape provides a secure, comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during high-volume carving. To ensure safe storage and transport to events or catering jobs, the knife includes a fitted wooden saya (sheath). Learn More$259.95 -
Shun Classic 2pc Carving Set
For those moments that call for a grand presentation—the holiday turkey, the perfectly roasted prime rib, the Sunday ham—the Shun Classic 2-Piece Carving Set provides the control and precision needed to serve with grace. This set is designed to transform carving from a chore into a ceremony, ensuring that the care you put into cooking is reflected in every slice on the plate. The set works as a seamless team. The Carving Fork is engineered to anchor the largest roasts securely without shredding the meat. Its long, sharp tines provide a confident grip, giving you complete stability as you slice. The star of the set, the 9.5-inch Carving Knife, is specifically designed for the task. Its long, narrow blade allows you to make clean, sweeping cuts through the meat in a single, fluid stroke. This length is crucial for producing beautiful, full-sized slices. The blade is crafted from Shun's proprietary VG-MAX steel core for a lasting, razor-sharp edge that glides through meat with minimal effort, preserving its juices and texture. This core is clad in 68 layers of Damascus steel, which not only creates the beautiful, rippling pattern characteristic of the Classic line but also helps reduce friction for a smoother cut. The D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handle rests comfortably and securely in your hand, providing excellent control for masterful carving at the table. Learn More$319.95
