## Description

The Shun Classic White series is an exquisite fusion of centuries-old Samurai forging tradition and advanced modern manufacturing techniques. It represents an excellent collection of high-gloss polished Damascus knives, perfected in every detail and designed for lasting sharpness, making them ideal for professional use. The blades of this series impress with their characteristic, satin-finished Damascus pattern, formed from 32 layers of the finest steel. Combined with the sleek, elegant handles made of light pakkawood, this creates an aesthetically sophisticated overall concept that meets the highest quality and functional standards. The heart of the blade is made of VG MAX steel, hardened to 61 (±1) HRC, which extends through the entire blade to the edge and is surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel. This composition gives the knives remarkable stability, combining hardness with flexibility. The blades feature a double-sided edge for maximum precision. The handles, made of robust pakkawood, are shaped in a traditional Japanese chestnut form and reinforced with high-quality resins, making them particularly durable and moisture-resistant. Their ergonomic shape and smooth edge ensure a comfortable, secure grip, while the full tang of the knives provides optimal stability and balance.

Review: Lo tenía en el punto de mira desde hace tiempo y he aprovechado una ocasión al encontrarlo a un precio muy ventajoso. Me ha llamado la atención el tamaño. Es grande y parece más grande. De hecho la hoja es algo mayor de 20cm. Como comparación, el que está a su izquierda en la foto en un Wüsthof Ikon. Por supuesto el peso, equilibrio, etc de ambos no tienen nada que ver. Son dos mundos absolutamente diferentes Aún no lo he probado pero estoy seguro de que no me va a defraudar. El patrón de damasco es sutil y muy elegante. La madera de Pakka tiene un tacto suave pero diría que sólido y firme en la mano. Y es muy bonita en este tono claro El VG10 aguanta bien el filo y se afila muy bien, no espero menos de éste Muy contento
Review: Produto beira a perfeição.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.
