The width of the blade keeps your knuckles well away from the cutting board while the edge s curve makes for an effortless rocking motion with fine mincing and dicing of foods of all kinds.
Created utilizing the Kasumi method of fine blade-making, sixteen layers of Damascus cladding on each side reinforce the blade s strong core. This process results in a superbly strong and sharp edge, and allows the blade to more easily glide through foods during use. It also leaves an eye-catching rippled pattern upon the blade known as suminigashi, or ink pattern. The blade has a razor-sharp edge and full tang, delivering optimum strength and balance as well as exceptional performance and splendid edge retention.
Shaped into the innovative Shun D-shape that fits securely in your palm, the handle of the Shun Classic 10 Chef s Knife with Reverse Grip is constructed from extraordinary resin-treated ebony-black PakkaWood. To meet the needs of left-handed use, the D-shaped handle is reversed on this knife. Sanded and buffed for a smooth, glossy finish, the refined and contemporary handle resists moisture while providing superior durability. Shun cutlery should be hand-washed for best edge retention.
