Each Shun knife is a unique piece, a work of art.
Shun professional knives are made with an internal layer in VG-10 super corrosion-resistant steel with a hardness of 61 HRC and will allow you to keep the blade always sharp in an unmatched way.
While the two external faces of the blade are made of new generation 32-layer damask stainless steel.
Thanks to the convex surface of the blade and the manual sharpening of each Shun knife, an incomparable cut is obtained, which allows the knife to slide even through the most difficult to cut foods.
This wire, combined with the balanced weight of the knife, allow you to work effortlessly.
The handle is made of very robust and refined laminated wood (pakka) with an ergonomic shape.
The cross section of the handle features the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, which pleasantly adapts to the fingers of the hand.
Thanks to the new type of Fulltang construction, the shape extends to the end of the handle. Therefore blade and handle are perfectly joined to each other and the knife can be handled optimally.

FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks.
However, the ideal choice depends on several factors:
Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade.
Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade.
Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency.
In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?
It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?
Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
