The VG-MAX steel core delivers the hardness and edge retention the Classic line is known for, while the blade geometry is specifically thinned to allow that controlled flex. The D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handle sits naturally in the hand whether you're working a whole salmon or breaking down a chicken, and the 68-layer Damascus cladding keeps the blade corrosion-resistant even after repeated contact with fish and acidic marinades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only, never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse immediately after contact with fish or acidic foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32398070022222,"sku":"DM0761","price":173.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_078f6ec8-fce7-43ab-a24f-81a17344ce25.jpg?v=1675284867"},{"product_id":"shun-premier-slicing-knife-241mm","title":"Shun Premier Slicing Knife 24.1cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eExperience the Blade Built for the Perfect Slice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shun Premier Slicing Knife 24.1cm is the specialist tool for carving roasts, slicing smoked salmon, and cutting through any large protein where a single, clean stroke matters.
