Shun is a strikingly beautiful brand of kitchen cutlery. These extremely sharp and durable knives are indispensable tools for the professional chef in a fine restaurant as well as the gourmet chef at home. Advanced manufacturing processes produce a far superior blade that reduces friction when slicing food. And all Shun knives achieve ideal balance for hours of fatigue-free prep work. Extremely sharp 16 degree cutting edge results in faster performance. Compare this with only a 22 degree angle in most premium German knives. Shun's top of the line Elite Series combines unparalleled quality and performance with the beauty of fine art. The blade is made of a new kind of steel called SG-2. SG-2 is a Japanese powdered steel. The advantage of powdered steel is that every element used to create the blade is evenly blended, thereby eliminating weak spots. The ideal structure and high density produces an exceedingly sharp, smooth and durable knife. The Shun Classic Series is easily identified by its beautiful wood grain look from the Damascus steel. The blade core, VG-10 super steel , is composed of carbon, chromium, vanadium, manganese, cobalt and molybdenum. This is clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, creating a 33 layer rust-free Damascus look. This distinctive looking profile results is less friction when slicing, resulting in cleaner cuts and better flavor. Choose from traditional European shapes or the newly designed 'Alton s Angle' resulting in a more efficient slice for quicker food preparation. Zappos is especially delighted to offer the ergonomically designed Shun Ken Onion Series.
