Choose the Shun Steel line for your customers who prefer the simple elegance and easy care of cutlery with pure stainless-steel handles. Theyll warm up to the entire Shun Steel line which offers the same grace and elegance as our Shun Classics but with a seamless one-piece stainless-steel bolster handle and end cap. VG-10 stainless steel is clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon steel on each side producing a 33-layer rust-free Damascus look. VG-10 super steel is composed of Carbon Chromium Cobalt Manganese Molybdenum Silicon and Vanadium. VG-10s Rockwell Hardness rating of 61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer. Shun Steel knives feature stainless-steel handles with the unique D shape for stable easy grip. Stainless-steel bolsters and end caps. Dishwasher safe. NSF approved. Like the Shun Classics the Shun Steel line also features our uniquely stable D shape handle design as well as the clad VG-10 blade. The D shape precisely fits the way the hand curves around the handle. The asymmetrical bolster is ground out more on the right side to provide proper finger placement and an easy secure grip. The Shun blade is sharp and flexible-ideal for food preparation. Hard flexible VG-10 super steel is clad in layers of high-carbon stainless steel that protect the VG-10 and give the Shun its Damascus-look pattern. Even the pattern serves a purpose ensuring that foods stick less during slicing and dicing which results in faster and easier food preparation. Clad Construction. The Cutting Edge. VG10 Super Steel.
