Made in Japan.
The Shun Classic Dual Density Utility Knife was designed for maximum slicing performance on difficult-to-cut foods; especially those foods that are tough on the outside and delicate on the inside like crusty breads, crusted roasts or leathery skinned vegetables.
The wave of edge increases the amount of cutting surface without lengthening the blade.
The smaller scalloped serrations give the blade a more aggressive tooth so that it cuts deeper than other knives in a single draw of the knife.
VG-10 cutting core is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge
34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
D-shaped ebony-finished Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria
Full composite tang for light weight and perfect balance
