Shun has a unique construction of blades and handles fitting snugly in your hands. The two series, the Classic and the Kai, are covered with several metal layers on both sides of the metal to work differently in cutting, selling, cutting, grinding, and cutting. Find out some of the aspects that make these fantastic knives unique.
The company's production is driven by creativity and value sharing with our customers. When you buy Shun knives, its sure is a long-term investment. This quality is consistent throughout the manufacturing process, such as inserting knives in metal casings between production steps to ensure that knife handles are not scratched or broken before reaching customers.
Robust Construction
Shun knives are made of VG10 stainless steel or advanced VG-MAX tough steel. Shun VG10 knives boast superior durability, which enables the metal to slide to the Rockwell 61-degree hardness to maintain flexibility and the ability to acquire and maintain an excellent edge.
When it comes to knives, the Rockwell metric helps to estimate the toughness of materials such as steel. Quality steel blades usually have a Rockwell toughness of between 55 and 62. The VG10 has a natural ability to straighten, so the metal edge is naturally smooth and always sharper when used.
They use more carbon, which improves robustness and durability, while high chromium composition enhances corrosion resistance. On the other hand, cobalt enhances strength and overall performance. The excellent and sharp blade enhances cutting performance.
One other unique feature of the Shun is a wavy pattern referred to as Damascus. The knives are created by sandwiching the blade in many layers of stainless steel ground into 3 / 1000th of an inch on either side of heavy metal. Using the Damascus technique, Shun creates sturdy blades that can withstand sharp cutting points that last longer.
High Cutting Efficiency
The knife-edge piece has a slender 16-degree edge, commonly used in Japanese knives. The blade edge is slimmer than western knives that feature a 22-degree angle. The Shun knives use a type of Japanese metal steel that allows blades to retain their sharp edges with no requirements for daily sharpening.
In light of the small angle, Shun advises using the brand's honing steel specifically designed for the Shun knives once a week to maintain the edges. When a knife needs sharpening, they provide professional sharpening services to help maintain the blades in good condition.
Shun uses blasting beads on each metal to enhance the Damascus design. The beadwork is aimed at highlighting (or highlighting) the Damascus metal with many stripes. This also creates countless small indentations on the knife, creating thousands of tiny air spaces that minimize the area in contact with food, which then leads to less sticking.
Ergonomic Handles
Every chef needs a strong connection with the tools they use. Some prefer a smaller light knife, while others work better with a heavier, larger portable knife. This is the reason why we have various Shun knife sets with unique ergonomics features.
The Classic and Kai handles are carved from hardwood, a human-made product that comprises of birch wood adorned with resin and glued together at high temperature. Each one fits snugly in hand and keeps the knife from turning, and makes for a firm and safe grip when used.
Easy Use and Maintenance
Shun knives deliver precision in cutting but do not use them on bones or frozen foods. To maintain the sharpness of the metal, use a wooden chopping board. Some cutting surfaces are not advisable as they cause the edge to blunt very quickly. With the right care, your Shun knife can last for many years.
