Blade

The blade features a VG MAX steel core wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination gives the knife its exceptional anatomy with a strong and flexible structure. VG MAX steel contains added chromium and vanadium which enhance edge retention and improve resistance to corrosion. Its higher carbon content makes it harder than many other steels. All Shun Classic blades are sharpened on both sides.

Handle

The handle is made from Pakkawood. This is a specially processed wood composite that offers high durability, resistance to moisture and vibration, and long term stability. The high quality resin added to the wood ensures strength and provides a comfortable and secure grip during use.
