The blades feature a striking Damascus pattern, reminiscent of the legendary samurai swords. This isn’t just for show—the layered construction supports the ultra-hard VG-MAX steel core, ensuring your knives maintain their edge longer and resist staining.
The hammered Tsuchime finish isn’t merely decorative. It creates tiny pockets of air that help release food as you cut, making your prep work faster and more efficient.

Customer Reviews
The Shun knife is incredibly sharp and performs excellently. However, it requires regular honing and careful maintenance to keep it in top shape. If you’re willing to put in the effort, it’s a superb knife
The Shun knife is a work of art and performs beautifully. It’s incredibly sharp and cuts with precision. However, the price is quite steep. If you can afford it, it’s a fantastic knife, but it’s a significant investment
