Product Description

Product Description

This is Kershaw s Shun Classic vegetable knife, with a twist: a uniquely angled handle designed to protect your knuckles from cracking against the cutting surface. The 10 degree angle on these Shun knives is the result of the collaboration between Kershaw s own blade smiths and celebrity chef Alton Brown of Food Network fame.

Designed for precise, fatigue-free cutting, Kershaw Japanese knives feature a finer edge than German kitchen knives, and are ideal for slicing, mincing and precision cutting. They are not designed for heavy-handed chopping or for use on glass, marble or Corian cutting boards.

• 10 degree angle
• VG-10 stainless steel is clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each, producing a 33-layer rust-free Damascus look
• VG-10's Rockwell Hardness rating of 61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer
• VG-10 super steel is composed of Carbon, Chromium, Cobalt, Manganese, Molybdenum, Silicon, and Vanadium
• Shun Classics feature Ebony-black PakkaWood handles specifically designed for premium applications
• Stainless steel bolsters and end caps
• NSF approved

This is the fourth knife of the Alton's Angle KAI Shun knives I have purchased. They are excellent knives which hold an edge. I am sure the Pro and Pro2 series would be nicer, but they are much more expensive, so I decided to try this line. The craftsmanship is excellent and the design ensures comfortable use. These have the 16 degree two-sided double-bevel edge (as opposed to the single-bevel on the Pro and Pro2). My previous knives (Sabatier Cousine de France) which I have been using for over 20 years do not come close in sharpness and then Sabatier is no longer a French company, so I decided to go Japanese from Seki. Well worth the money. In the future I will probably get a Pro or Pro2 for those really intricate kitchen chores.
