Double the Performance.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost knives have a single steel core. The Shun Dual Core has two - alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 high-carbon stainless steel, folded together into 71 micro-layers of Damascus cladding. The result is a blade where both steels reach the cutting edge simultaneously, combining VG10's exceptional hardness with VG2's flexibility and corrosion resistance. The flowing Damascus pattern is not just beautiful - it's structural. The Nakiri's flat blade profile is designed for the straight up-and-down chopping motion, delivering clean cuts through cabbage, cucumber, carrot, and everything in between with zero rocking and zero wedging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only, never dishwasher\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":44988029075747,"sku":"VG0028","price":398.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/s-l1600.jpg?v=1716931016","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/shun-dual-core-nakiri-knife-165mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
