Shun Edo's reputation for superior power and control is reflected in the extraordinary appearance of their cutlery. The VG-10 steel blade's eye-catching hammered pattern reduces drag and helps food release easily, and the handle's tear-drop shape and broad bolster facilitate a variety of cutting techniques. This versatile blade excels at a wide variety of tasks, from slicing delicate mushrooms to chunking pineapple. The innovative combination of low-frequency and high-frequency serrations serve to improve performance. Low-frequency to help minimize resistance between blade and cutting board. High-Frequency to reduce tearing when cutting soft-skinned foods (like tomatoes) or slicing through hard crusts. Wide bolsters and ergonomic grips reduce tension and fatigue while providing added leverage. Incredibly dense VG-10 "Super Steel" blade is tempered for exceptional hardness and edge retention. The hammered pattern ("tsuchime" in Japanese) helps the blade pass easily through food without sticking. Handle is made from resin-infused PakkaWood for lasting moisture resistance. Shun's knife-making technique draws upon the traditions of Japanese sword-making while employing state-of-the-art technology. This NSF-certified knife meets the high-level hygiene standards of commercial kitchens. Includes a bamboo display stand. Handcrafted in Japan.
