The SHUN right-handed knife means “best season” for food. Each individual SHUN knife is a distinctive original that combines craftsmanship with technology and design.

Ham Knife: With its pointed, long, and narrow blade, the ham knife allows for the easy removal of fish or poultry skin. The sharp blade portions meat into thin, smooth slices or cubes without tearing the fibers.

Blade: SHUN professional chef’s knives are made from a special, rust-resistant Damascus steel with 32 layers. The inner layer is made of V-Max steel, which is extremely corrosion-resistant and extremely hard (61±1 HRC), giving the blade an unparalleled sharpness. The convex grind of the 20 cm long blade, achieved through manual honing, attains a sharpness that effortlessly processes even the most challenging cutting tasks. This sharpness, combined with the balanced weight of the knives, allows for comfortable, fatigue-free work. The scalloped grind of the kitchen knives reduces the adhesion of the cut material, allowing an air cushion to form between the food and the knife. This facilitates cutting and causes the food to fall off the blade more quickly.

Handle: The 12.2 cm long handle made of finely laminated pakkawood is ergonomically shaped and promises comfortable handling thanks to its symmetrical design, which is only suitable for right-handers. Pakkawood is strong, durable, dimensionally stable, and extremely resistant to weather and moisture. The differences in color and grain are distinctive features of the wooden handle.
