About Shun Knives

Kershaw Shun Knives are created from a tradition of knife-making that extends 700 years from Japan's samuri sword-making capital, Seki City. Produced by the KAI Corporation, Shun Knives feature a blending of this tradtion with today's technology.

Clad-Steel Blade

Each Shun Knife is produced with VG-10 "super steel" which is compused of 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stianless steel on each side for a rust-free Damascus-style blade that is not only beautiful, but prevents food from sticking to the blade.

Stainless Steel Cap

Unique Blade Design

The blade design allows you to sharpen from the tip to the back-edge of the knife.

Superior Edge
