The Shun Classic series is an exquisite fusion of centuries-old Samurai forging tradition and advanced modern manufacturing techniques. It represents an excellent collection of high-gloss polished Damascus knives, perfected in every detail and designed for lasting sharpness, making them ideal for professional use. The blades of this series impress with their characteristic, satin-finished Damascus pattern, formed from 32 layers of the finest steel. Combined with the sleek, elegant handles made of black pakkawood, this creates an aesthetically sophisticated overall concept that meets the highest quality and functional standards. The heart of the blade is made of VG MAX steel, hardened to 61 (±1) HRC, which extends through the entire blade to the edge and is surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel. This composition gives the knives remarkable stability, combining hardness with flexibility. The blades feature a double-sided edge for maximum precision. The handles, made of robust pakkawood, are shaped in a traditional Japanese chestnut form and reinforced with high-quality resins, making them particularly durable and moisture-resistant. Their ergonomic shape and smooth edge ensure a comfortable, secure grip, while the full tang of the knives provides optimal stability and balance.
