Good Eats' star Alton Brown not only endorsed these knives - he helped design them! The angled handle really does help when you're working in the kitchen - the ergonomically designed angle reduces fatigue and keeps your knuckles away from the cutting board, which is an extra bonus if your the eager type of chef who often "knocks" while cooking.

Shun Classic knives are beautifully finished and constructed from only the finest materials: Stainless steel bolsters and buttcaps, Pakkawood resin handles, and VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel. The edge is hardened more than most knives, allowing for an extra sharp edge. The unique qualities of the steel keep the edge sharp without brittleness. The blade is clad with 16 layers of softer steel for durability, then etched to show the unique "damascus" finish. Shun Classic knives combine modern materials with classic design for truly masterful cutlery.
