What sets Shun knives apart from other cutlery?
Shun knives are sharper out of the box, holding an extreme 16-degree blade angle. They stay sharp longer because of the exotic blade steels we use. The D-shaped PakkaWood handles make them comfortable and easy to use, as well as moisture and heat resistant. Pair that with the benefits of clad Damascus technology, which gives our knives strength and durability, and you have a line of knives which are beautiful to look at and perform well in the hand! In Japanese, the word Shun means “best time of the year,” or as we say here in the USA “as good as it gets.
