Shun Classic

The SHUN means “best season” of foodstuff. This Series of chef’s knives is one of the most comprehensive  damask  steel  series  worldwide  and  highly  appreciated  by  top  class professionals as well as ambitious hobby chefs.

Shun professional chef’s knives are made from specific stainless damask steel with 32 layers. The core layer is made from V-Gold-10-steel. This is an extremely hard (61 ± 1 HRC) and corrosion-resistant steel that gives the blade a sharpness that is second to none.

The convex cut of the blade together with the manual honing of each Shun knife delivers an unrivalled sharpness that allows the knife to cut through even the toughest material. This sharpness together with the well-balanced weight of the knife makes for tireless work.

Each Shun knife gets its unique and individual character by refining the natural beauty of the damask grain.  Therefore every Shun knife is unmistakable and unique - a piece of art, united by craftsmanship, technology and design.

The handle is made from fine laminated PakkaWood that has been ergonomically shaped. The handle’s cross-selection shows the traditional Japanese “chestnut” shape that snugly fits the hand. The new full tang construction extends the edge right into the handle. As a result handle and blade are perfectly joined to give the knife the optimum feeling.

The design of the finest chef’s knives of Shun series was inspired by the masterful art of Samurai swords.
