Shun knives are known for their exceptional sharpness, precision, and attention to detail. They are typically constructed using a combination of traditional Japanese techniques and modern technologies, using high-carbon stainless steel and a unique damascus cladding to create a beautiful and durable blade. Shun knives often feature a razor-sharp edge and a comfortable handle designed for precise cutting and excellent balance.
