Blade features a core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps release food from blade.
Walnut-finish PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing a trigger grip for pull cuts and the perfect balance point for pinch grips.
Stainless-steel endcaps embossed with Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
Handcrafted in Japan.
