  • Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty; includes wooden saya sheath

Description

The Shun Dual Core Kiritsuke Knife is used for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife. It works extremely well with vegetables to julienne, dice, or brunoise with ease. It's also an excellent choice for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, particularly fish. It slices cooked proteins with grace and ease and with its straighter edge, it's ideal for slicing cuts and push cuts. The Shun Dual Core series features a Damascus blade made from two premium-quality, high-carbon stainless steels. 71 alternating micro-layers of high carbon, high chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels are roll-forged to produce a finer grain in the steel and to give it both strength and beauty. The laminated steel is then hot forged to create the herringbone pattern that allows the layers to alternate along the cutting edge. During normal use, the two steels will wear at different rates creating micro serrations along the edge so that the Dual Core's extremely sharp edge feels sharp longer. Etched laminations in the blade reduce drag, helping food release from the blade and gliding through each cut quickly and easily. Dual Core blades are thin, light, and strong. Traditional Japanese octagon-shaped handles in ebony PakkaWood provide a comfortable and secure grip to complete the look of these beautiful knives.

    Love this knife!

    Unbelievably sharp. I have compared this knife to several of my German and American knives and the Kiritsuke is smoother, takes less effort, and slices through vegetables like butter. And it’s absolutely beautiful with all the exposed layers of metal.

    Almost too beautiful

    Already my second dual core. Great feel, balance, and performance with an edge that's easy to maintain and refine.

    Stunning

    A great buy! Arrived in perfect condition and razor sharp. Effortlessly cuts and slices through every fruit, semi-soft vegetable and boneless meat. Care for this knife and it will take care of whatever you need it for.

    My new favorite

    I purchased this about three weeks ago. Even though I own many great knives, I made it a point to only use this knife for all that time unless I needed a pairing knife or a cleaver. I am an ameteur knife sharpener. I one several different systems (Wicked Edge, Apex, Lansky, stones, etc.). I know how to judge sharpness. Out of the box, this is the sharpener knife using the newspaper test of any knife I have tested. To my amazement, it would not shave hair. I used it for about a week and then sharpened on the Wicked Edge system. It become not only the best paper cutter but a great hair shaver. Then, I used it for two more weeks doing nothing more than honing with a ceramic rod with a 16 degree guide. I decided to test it again with the newspaper test. It cut a newspaper sheet from top to bottom like butter. It is an amazing knife that feels great in the hand. Shun thanks for another winner. My new favorite.
