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 that extend all the way to the cutting edge. The result combines VG10's exceptional hardness with VG2's flexibility and corrosion resistance - both steels reaching the edge simultaneously for a blade that stays sharper, longer. The utility knife's narrower, straighter blade excels at trimming vegetables, slicing meats and cheeses, and all the precise mid-size tasks that define everyday kitchen prep. The rabbet tang controls weight and enhances manoeuvrability, while the octagon-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that won't harbour bacteria.\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":44988169453859,"sku":"VG0019","price":361.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/1.jpg?v=1716931038","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/shun-dual-core-utility-knife-152mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
