| DM0752 - Shun Classic Ultimate Cook's (8") Kitchen Knife from KAI USA, PakkaWood Handle
|
The word cook will have a new meaning for you when you purchase this classic Shun Ultimate Cook's Knife. Featuring a blade made with sixteen layers of high carbon steel on each side this knife is not only beautiful, it’s also strong.
The blade is the VG-10, super steel, which is composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, and vanadium. This unique combination of minerals creates an ultra strong blade that remains sharp from the moment you take it out of the box up to years later. In addition to the sharpness of the blade this Shun Utility Knife Classic features a uniquely stable, D, shaped handle.
Speaking of handles, these Shun classics feature ebony black Pakkawood handles specifically designed for high quality knives. The 'D' shaped handle rests easily in the curve of the fingers as they curl around this straight backed utility knife. However, there’s nothing simple about it.
The Shun U2 Ultimate Utility Knife features stainless steel bolsters and end caps, and is NSF approved.

The Knife Features:
Clad Construction: The wavy pattern on the blade is called a Damascus look; what gives it that pattern are 16 layers of SUS410 High Carbon Stainless Steel pounded to 3/1000th of an inch and then "clad" on each side of the VG10 core. This combination of materials gives the blade strength, stain resistance, and incredible cutting performance.
The Cutting Edge: Shun's cutting edge is ground to an angle of 16 degrees making them extremely sharp; compare this to the best German knives which are only ground to only 22 degrees. The exotic Japanese steels used in the cutting core of the knives allow them to hold these razor sharp edges without the need for excessive re-sharpening.
VG10 Super Steel: G10 is a new type of stainless steel that has a higher density. This allows the steel to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61, and still have the flexibility and strength to take and keep a perfect edge. VG10's natural tendency is to remain straight and true, so when it is used, the edge of the blade naturally straightens out and stays sharper longer.
Kasumi Method: This is the traditional Japanese style of knife making where you take an extremely hard carbon steel used for the edge, then clad on each side a protective layer of stainless steel. This is actually the process of how samurai swords are made.
Dishwasher Note: Shun’s knives, due to the revolutionary nature of their Pakkawood handles, are dishwasher safe. HOWEVER, as with any lifetime investment, it’s important to take the best care possible in order to prolong the life of your knife. For multiple reasons, it is NOT advised you put your knives in the dishwasher.
