Shun Classic Series

The Shun Classic is one of Australia's most popular Japanese kitchen knives. Every blade is built around a VG-MAX steel core clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel (34 on each side), giving the series its signature wavy pattern and edge retention that outperforms most knives at this price point. The 16 degree cutting angle per side is noticeably sharper than German-style knives, making prep work faster and more precise.

The ebony PakkaWood D-shaped handle works for both right and left-handed cooks, resists moisture, and is comfortable for extended cooking sessions. Each knife passes through at least 100 handcrafted steps in Seki City, Japan before it leaves the factory.
