Inspired by the Japanese word for "white-capped wave," Shun's Shiranami collection boasts an exquisitely waved pattern on every blade. The rippled Damascus finish is formed by 71 layers of durable stainless steel. Maintaining exceptional sharpness and performance, this versatile utility knife's long, wide blade slices, dices, trims and portions. The subtly curved belly of the blade allows for rocking cuts, while the angled tip increases durability and precision. Deep blue resin embeds natural jute, creating a lattice-patterned handle with subtle texture for a secure grip. Combine this master utility knife with others in the Shiranami line to build a stunning, high-performance cutlery collection.
Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp knives are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
