  • Handcrafted in Japan, Shun Dual-Core knives are a brilliant pairing of strength and beauty. Two types of stainless steel are welded and forged together to produce the stunning Damascus pattern and a super-strong blade that holds its sharp edge, requiring less honing. The long-bladed kiritsuke is essentially an all-purpose Japanese chef's knife, ideal for cleaning and portioning boneless meats as well as dicing, slicing or julienning vegetables.

    • 71 alternating micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels welded together and fold-forged to produce an extremely strong, fine-grained steel.
    • With normal use the two steels will wear at different rates, creating micro serrations along the edge for long-lasting sharpness.
    • Hand-sharpened 16-degree double-bevel blade.
    • Etched laminations in the blade reduce drag, releasing foods more quickly and easily.
    • Traditional Japanese octagonal handle in ebony PakkaWood.
    • Shun Cutlery’s new Dual Core Kiritsuke was named the 2014 Kitchen Knife of the Year at the annual Blade Show.
