Alton Brown helped design this knife by providing Shun with feedback and advice on what chefs like to see. The angle is a huge innovation in knife design, providing ergonomic comfort with slicing efficiency. These knives truly do make working in the kitchen easier than ever before.

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.
