Product Description
Shun Elite is an innovative combination of aesthetics and performance in kitchen cutlery. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, the center of the ancient samurai tradition, Elite???s stunning design is directly inspired by the artful aesthetics of samurai swords, down to the smallest detail. The blade is made of a unique core of SG2, an exotic powdered steel that???s hardened to 64 Rockwell (compared to the 56-58 Rockwell of European kitchen knives), resulting in an exceedingly sharp and smooth edge. This amazing metal means that Elite knives stay sharp several times longer than comparable stainless cutlery. The knife is then clad with two layers of SUS410???a softer stainless steel that provides strength, flexibility and corrosion protection. The only thing more beautiful than the knife in your kitchen is the way it performs in your hand. Hand wash. Lifetime warranty.Features:SG-2 Powdered Steel.Comfortable Ambidextrous Pakkawood Handles with samurai family crest inlay.NSF approved for professional use.Traditional Japanese styling.Lifetime Warranty.

Definitely intimidating at first, this 10-inch chef's knife from the fabulous Shun Elite collection will soon become a favorite for those hard-to-tackle jobs. The blade is so sharp it practically melts through even the toughest winter squash and reduces a watermelon to manageable slices in no time. Like all Elite knives, this one features a sleek black PakkaWood handle, made of a hardwood-resin fusion, which showcases an inlaid traditional Japanese emblem and fine rings of copper and brass near the bolster. A distinctive flourish, called a "hamon," along the edge of the blade recalls the samurai swords once made in Seki City, Japan, where Shun Elites are handcrafted. Any chef would feel honored to receive this exceptional, gift-boxed knife.

Shun Elite knives stand out for their incredible sharpness, sharper even than Shun Classics, thanks to the newest powdered steel alloy known as SG-2. The process used to make SG-2 results in a fine-grained, very dense blend of ingredients that creates a smooth-as-silk knife edge. Shun edges are formed to an unusually keen 16 degree angle, which is one reason they're so prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun Elite knives should be washed and dried--carefully--by hand, and stored when possible in a wooden block to protect the blade. --Ann Bieri

Oh MY GAWD!!! This is a knife. Why did I wait so long to get a good knife? (Oh yeah, the ex wife would have had it dull in a week) It is so nice to hear a shearing sound as it cut. I was laughing as I was listening to my mother cut behind me (KLUNK KLUNK) with her crap knife, as I am cutting carrots (ssshhhhh ssshhhh) with a pie eating smile on my face. This blade is just ridiculous. If you want a treat that will make life in the kitchen better, get this knife. It is gorgeous and a pleasure to use.
