The Shun chef's knife series is one of the most comprehensive Damascus knife series in the world and is extremely popular with the chef elite and ambitious amateur chefs. Shun professional chef's knives are made from a specially developed, stainless Damascus steel with 32 layers. The inner layer consists of V-Gold-10 steel. This steel is extremely corrosion-resistant, extremely hard (61±1 HRC, 1.0% carbon, 1.5% cobalt) and keeps the blade permanently sharp if cared for properly. The convex grind of the blade and the manual honing of each Shun knife create an unrivalled sharpness that allows the knife to glide through even the most difficult of cuts like no other. This sharpness, paired with the balanced weight of the knives, allows for fatigue-free employees. The set includes a Santoku with an 18 cm blade (DM-0702), an all-purpose knife with a 15 cm blade (DM-0701) and an 8.5 cm office knife (DM-0700). The blade lengths cover fine peeling work, precise cutting of vegetables, meat and fish as well as universal kitchen tasks.
