SG0404 - Shun Elite Chef's (8") Kitchen Knife from KAI USA, PakkaWood Handle

Shun Elite is an innovative combination of aesthetics and performance in kitchen cutlery. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, the center of the ancient samurai tradition, Elite’s stunning design is directly inspired by the artful aesthetics of samurai swords, down to the smallest detail. The blade is made of a unique core of SG2, an exotic powdered steel that’s hardened to 64 Rockwell (compared to the 56-58 Rockwell of European kitchen knives), resulting in an exceedingly sharp and smooth edge. This amazing metal means that Elite knives stay sharp several times longer than comparable stainless cutlery. The knife is then clad with two layers of SUS410—a softer stainless steel that provides strength, flexibility and corrosion protection. The only thing more beautiful than the knife in your kitchen is the way it performs in your hand.

Shun Knives In A Nutshell  
 
The Knife Features:

  • SG-2 Powdered Steel: Shun uses SG-2 on their Elite knives. The SG-2 is an exotic powdered steel with incredible edge retention capability and hardness, resulting in an exceedingly sharp and smooth edge. It has a much higher density and grain structure with no imperfections or weak points.

  • 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.
