    The Shun Classic Difference:

    • Exquisite Blade Construction: Each knife features a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, an ultra-hard steel that takes and holds a phenomenally sharp edge. The core is protected by 68 layers of Damascus cladding, which not only creates a stunning, rippling pattern but also helps food release easily from the blade.
    • Unrivaled Sharpness: The blades are sharpened to a razor-sharp 16° angle on each side, resulting in a cleaner, more precise cut that bruises food less and keeps ingredients fresher.
    • Comfort and Control: The D-shaped handle, made of durable and moisture-resistant ebony PakkaWood, is designed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, providing comfort, control, and reducing fatigue during use.
    • Handcrafted in Japan: Every Shun knife is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Seki City, Japan, the historic heart of Japanese sword-making.

    This is more than a knife set; it's an investment in every meal you will ever make. Begin your culinary journey with the best—start with Shun Classic.
